Yes, Taylor Swift does have her own record label called Republic Records - Taylor Swift Productions. She founded this label in 2018 after leaving her previous record label, Big Machine Records, where she had been since the beginning of her career.

The creation of her own record label was a significant move that gave Swift more control over her music and career. Through this partnership with Universal Music Group's Republic Records, she owns all of her master recordings for new music released after 2018.

The key details about Taylor Swift's record label arrangement include:

• Full ownership of her master recordings for all new music
• Creative control over her artistic direction
• Better revenue sharing from streaming and sales
• Rights to license her music for commercial use
• Control over her entire music catalog moving forward

This development came after her highly publicized dispute with Big Machine Records and Scooter Braun over the ownership of her original master recordings. The situation led Swift to re-record her first six albums, releasing them as "Taylor's Version" under her new label arrangement.

Republic Records - Taylor Swift Productions is not a fully independent label, but rather a partnership with Universal Music Group. This arrangement gives Swift the benefits of both worlds - creative independence while maintaining the distribution and marketing power of a major record label.

Currently, all new Taylor Swift music, including her recent albums "Midnights," "Folklore," and "Evermore," are released under this label arrangement. The success of these releases has proven that Swift's decision to establish her own label partnership was a strategic move that benefited both her artistic freedom and business interests.

For clarity, while Swift has significant control through her label arrangement, it's technically a partnership rather than a completely independent record label. This structure allows her to maintain creative autonomy while leveraging the resources of one of the world's largest music companies.
