Inspired by a pop music icon, Rachel Platten is taking control of her musical legacy. The artist, known for her empowering anthem ‘Fight Song’, is embarking on a journey of reclamation, a move that is reshaping her career. It is about an artist asserting her ownership and voice in an ever-evolving industry. Her actions are a testament to the influence of fellow musician Taylor Swift, who has championed the cause of artists' rights.

Following a path blazed by the superstar, Rachel Platten is stepping into a new era of her career. 

Rachel Platten announced her decision to re-record her songs, including ‘Fight Song,’ a decade after its original release. She shared the news on Instagram, thanking Taylor Swift and revealing that these new versions, titled ‘Rachel's Versions’, are not meant to change the originals but to reclaim them. For the re-recorded versions, Platten collaborated with her original producer, Jon Levine, and plans to release the album on September 26.

Rachel Platten openly credits Taylor Swift for bringing the conversation about master ownership to light. She also announced a special concert at Irving Plaza in New York on October 16 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of ‘Fight Song.’ In a move to give back to her fans and the community, Platten announced that all proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to support the fight against breast cancer, as she shared in her next Instagram post.

This artist-to-artist solidarity is not a one-way street, as the trailblazer who inspired Rachel Platten also continues to innovate.

Beyond her role as an inspiration for other artists, Taylor Swift herself has a number of new projects on the horizon. The artist, who recently bought the rights to her original albums, is continuing to expand her creative output. She recently announced a new album, ‘The Life of a Showgirl’, which is scheduled for release on October 3.

Taylor Swift’s new album is her 12th studio album, and she announced the news during an appearance on the New Heights podcast, hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce. She revealed that the album was written during the European leg of her Eras Tour and will offer a look into her inner life during that time. The album is a departure from her most recent release, featuring an upbeat and effervescent sound, with production from Max Martin and Shellback.
