Rock legend Carole King, 83, sent a bold message to Taylor Swift after learning the "You Belong With Me" songstress purchased all of her master recordings.
On May 30, Swift announced that she now owns her entire discography after Scooter Braun's company infamously sold it to Shamrock Holdings in 2020. She reportedly purchased the masters of her first six albums for $360 million, per Billboard.

"I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made... now belongs... to me," Swift revealed on her website. "And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work."
Not long after Swift's big news, King took to her Instagram Stories to react.
"@taylorswift You continued to inspire! ???," the "You've Got a Friend" singer captioned her update alongside a photo of Swift throwing her hands in the air in celebration.

— The Swift Society (@TheSwiftSociety) May 31, 2025The image has since circulated on X, with many Swifties weighing in on King's reaction.
One fan declared, "The most legendary swiftie out there."
Another X user shared, "Powerful women uplifting each other -love to see it!"
Someone else confessed, "Omg, I’m bawling."
Meanwhile, a different fan wrote, "Tay grandmother."
Swift and King's friendship goes back years. In August 2024, King spoke about Swift during a virtual fundraising event for the Swifties for Kamala [Harris] coalition.
"I am a Swiftie," King said in a clip shared via X. "Taylor and I are actually friends."
She added, "We have had conversations backstage and, you know, I see her as, like, sort of my musical and songwriting granddaughter. And we have a lovely relationship, and I'm so proud of her."
In 2021, Swift introduced King at her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.
"I cannot remember a time when I didn’t know Carole King’s music," Swift said, in part, during her poignant speech "I was raised by two of her biggest fans, who taught me the basic truths of life as they saw it: That you should treat people the way you want to be treated, that you must believe that you can achieve whatever you want to in life, and that Carole King is the greatest songwriter of all time."
