Private equity gets cut of two of Taylor Swift’s biggest pop hits through Max Martin’s catalog sale

Private equity firm HarbourView Equity Partners acquired the publisher's share of Taylor Swift's songs 'Style' and 'Ready for It' through a catalog sale involving co-writers Max Martin and Shellback. The deal, part of a growing trend in monetizing music publishing rights, grants HarbourView royalties from public performances, streaming, and commercial licensing of the songs.
