Taylor Swift has said she plans to re-record her own songs after her back catalogue was bought by music manager Scooter Braun.

The singer told ABC's Good Morning America it was “absolutely” her plan to go back and re-do her hits so she would own the copyright.

Previously, Ms Swift claimed Mr Braun – who is Jewish – bullied her for years. She said she felt “sad” and “grossed out” that he now owns her music.

In June, Mr Braun’s company Ithaca Holdings bought Big Machine Label Group, which released Ms Swift’s first six album and which owned all the masters.

"Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it," Ms Swift said at the time.
