Carole King praises Taylor Swift for regaining control of masters

Carole King praises Taylor Swift for reclaiming her music masters, applauding her inspiring journey.

"Carole taught artists like me that telling your own story is worth the work. - Taylor Swift"

Washington, June 2

Legendary singer-songwriter Carole King has expressed her admiration for Taylor Swift after the pop star announced that she has regained control of her music catalogue.

King reposted Swift's Instagram announcement, adding a heartfelt message of support.

King, 83, wrote on her Instagram Stories, "You continue to inspire!," over a photo of Swift celebrating her achievement.

Swift, 35, has long been a fan of King's work, and the two have crossed paths at music industry events.

King has previously praised Swift's songwriting skills, presenting her with the Artist of the Decade Award at the American Music Awards in 2019.

"Over the years, I've known some great songwriters, and I've also known some great singers and performers. It's rare to see all those talents in one person, but that defines Taylor Swift," King said.

Swift has often spoken about the impact of King's music on her own career.

In her 2021 speech inducting King into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Swift said, "Carole taught artists like me that telling your own story is worth the work and struggle it takes to earn the opportunity for your story to be heard."

As a musician myself, I really admire how Taylor fought for her rights. In India, many artists struggle with copyright issues too. More power to women in music! 👏

While I appreciate their talent, I wish Indian artists got this kind of recognition. Our musicians like A.R. Rahman are equally talented but don't always get the same global platform.

Love seeing women supporting women in the industry! Carole King is a legend and Taylor's perseverance is inspiring. More young Indian girls should look up to such role models. ❤️

Interesting story but honestly, I don't understand why this is such big news. In India, Lata Mangeshkar owned her masters for decades. Maybe Western artists should learn from our legends.

The music industry needs more such mentorship. Reminds me of how Asha Bhosle guided many young singers. Hope Taylor inspires a new generation to fight for their creative rights!
