Her efforts were credited with helping to drive voter registration among young people, and her Instagram post announcing her endorsement was the most-liked post in the platform's history

Another major event for Taylor Swift in 2020 was her dispute with music manager Scooter Braun and her former record label, Big Machine Records. In November 2019, Braun's company, Ithaca Holdings, acquired Big Machine Records and with it, the rights to all of Swift's master recordings from her first six albums. Swift spoke out against the acquisition, claiming that Braun had bullied her throughout her career and that the acquisition was a "worst-case scenario." Swift also criticized the terms of her previous contract with Big Machine Records, which she said did not allow her to own her own work
In response to the public backlash, Braun sold the rights to Swift's master recordings to an investment fund, allowing Swift to regain control of her music. Swift then re-recorded her first six albums, releasing "Taylor's Version" of "Fearless" in 2021, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart
