Big Machine Records later found itself at the center of the controversy around ownership of masters for Taylor Swift’s albums. The proceedings further brought to light Scott Swift’s involvement in the label.
Taylor Swift started pursuing a career in music when she was just a young girl. Inspired by her favorite artists, including Shania Twain and Faith Hill, Swift expressed her desire to move to Nashville and start recording songs. Her parents supported her every step of the way. When Swift was 14 years old, her father, a stockbroker at Merrill Lynch and one-time Christmas tree farm owner, moved his work to Nashville, Tennessee, to help his daughter get her start.
