Taylor Swift is currently signed to Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group, since November 2018. This marked a significant change in her career after spending 13 years with Big Machine Records.

I'll break down Taylor Swift's record label history to give you the complete picture:

Big Machine Records (2005-2018) Taylor Swift signed her first major record deal with Big Machine Records when she was just 15 years old. During her time with Big Machine, she released six studio albums: • Taylor Swift (2006) • Fearless (2008) • Speak Now (2010) • Red (2012) • 1989 (2014) • Reputation (2017)

Republic Records (2018-Present) In November 2018, Swift signed with Republic Records under Universal Music Group. This new deal gave her ownership of her master recordings for all new music released after that point. Under Republic Records, she has released: • Lover (2019) • Folklore (2020) • Evermore (2020) • Fearless (Taylor's Version) (2021) • Red (Taylor's Version) (2021) • Midnights (2022) • Speak Now (Taylor's Version) (2023) • 1989 (Taylor's Version) (2023)

The switch to Republic Records was particularly significant because it gave Swift greater control over her music. Under this deal, she owns all master recordings of new music created since joining the label, something she didn't have with her previous contract at Big Machine Records.

It's worth noting that since joining Republic Records, Swift has been re-recording her earlier albums to regain control of her musical catalog, releasing them as "Taylor's Version" of each album.
