Every era. My entire life’s work».
The «Lover» artist added that by buying back her music, her «memories and [her] sweat and [her] handwriting and [her] dreams from the past decade» now belong to her.
«I am endlessly grateful», - she concluded, adding a joke: «My first tattoo maybe a huge a** back tattoo of a huge a** clover». Her joke was a reference to Shamrock Capital, which owned the rest of her music before she acquired it.
