Yes, Taylor Swift currently has a record label. As of 2024, she's signed with Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group. This partnership began in November 2018 after her contract with Big Machine Records expired.

Taylor Swift's record label history includes:

1. Big Machine Records (2005-2018)
2. Republic Records (2018-present)

The switch to Republic Records was a significant move for Swift, as her new contract gave her ownership of her master recordings for all new music created under the label. This was particularly important to her after the controversial sale of her previous master recordings at Big Machine Records.

Under Republic Records, Swift has released several highly successful albums:

• Lover (2019)
• folklore (2020)
• evermore (2020)
• Midnights (2022)
• Re-recorded versions of her earlier albums

Her deal with Republic Records also allows her more creative control and better terms compared to her previous contract. The agreement includes provisions for her to own her master recordings outright, which was a key factor in her decision to sign with them.

It's worth noting that Swift's relationship with Republic Records has been notably positive, contrasting with her previous experiences. The label has supported her endeavor to re-record her earlier albums, known as "Taylor's Version," which she began releasing in 2021.

Republic Records serves as Swift's distributor for both physical and digital releases worldwide, while she maintains control over her artistic direction and master recordings. This arrangement represents a modern approach to artist-label relationships in the music industry.

The partnership has proven extremely successful, with Swift breaking numerous records and achieving unprecedented commercial success under Republic Records' banner.
