Taylor fanboy Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 I think yes since they are friendly, and are both business-minded.
JorgeM Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 No. Why would Taylor cares if Rihanna own the master instead Calvin or the label? Taylor wrote the song with Calvin an decide to give it, she already own the songwriting royalties and publishing rights. Is not the same than better man and babe because that songs were part of the original red
Beyonnaise Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 Rih owning the masters means she owns the Calvin Harris x Rihanna recording of the song. Taylor as the songwriter still maintains rights to it, hence why she was willing to perform it at those one-off shows in 2016. It would be interesting to hear a reworked version on Reputa TV.
fauxtography Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 No, why would Rihanna give hand outs to Taylor?
RihFenty20 Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 It’s 2022, almost 2023. Why are you clinging to a 6 year old song when your fav dropped new material 2 weeks ago
JorgeM Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 3 minutes ago, fauxtography said: No, why would Rihanna give hand outs to Taylor? If Taylor wanted (I don’t think so) Rihanna has nothing to say. Publishing right holders are the only one who can let or forbid to record a song (Taylor and Calvin are the publishing right holders) and in reality people can record and they just need to inform and pay royalties to them. Rihanna is just half owner of her own record not of the song
Smarticle Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 Taylor recording her own version would be interesting...

I wonder if Taylor had any other initial visions of what kind of instrumental would fit around her lyrics, melodies and chords. It would definitely be an interesting project.

Her vision was off-key vocals because that's exactly what she was giving when she covered the song live
GoodGuyGoneGhetto Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 The infatuation of a song that was released 6 years ago and Rihanna, herself, hasn’t BREATHED ON since one occasion in 2016. Lord, please release the Swifties and whomever else from the shackles of this song.

So far that has included songs written for other artists like Little Big Town and Sugarland. These songs ended up sounding different to the version the other artists put out. It’s possible she’ll do the same with the songs she wrote for Rihanna/Calvin and people can be speculate about what her versions could sound like if they will even exist at all.

Well if we base it off the time she sung it herself I would say BAD.
Protocol Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 She can do a cover of the song and call it Taylor's Version, neither Rihanna nor Calvin have any say in that. Anyone can do a cover of a song.
IBeMe Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 I would be here for it. I loved the song when it came out and did not understand why Taylor didn't keep the track for herself but I was glad with Rih's delivery on the song. It would be nice to hear Taylor do a studio version. She is the songwriter of the lyrics and melody after all.

Because she got screwed over by her original label. In this case, neither Rih or Calvin screwed her over. MOVE ON Swifties....

youreyesgocold Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 If she does record it, she will likely take it in a different direction and do a slower acoustic style rendition similar to how she performed it live. I dont think she will bother trying to replicate Rih’s performance or Calvin’s production at all.

Probably has to do with the song being just another one of Rihanna's many global smashes while it could have been a potential second one for Taylor.

And she should do it if she wants to. I doubt Rih would have a problem with it. Y'all brag daily how Taylor is a songwriter then seemingly forget how the music industry works. She's credited only as a writer and so the song is not hers because unlike her own songs where she's credited as the recording artist, she already gave away claims to that song when she gave it away to be recorded by Rihanna. Rihanna never stole anything from Taylor. Calvin literally chased after Rihanna to record the song and she did. If Taylor wanted the song so badly she would have recorded it and released it as her own, but she did not. Get over it already. The song is like six years old now and Taylor has released like six albums since, y'all have plenty of new material.
