Swift, in a surprise move, has reclaimed her master recordings years after they were initially sold, first to Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings, then to Shamrock Capital.
The year saw K-pop companies making mega moves on a global scale, while the catalog market remained hot.
The investment firm known for its stakes in Taylor Swift's, Dr. Dre's catalogs now has $4.4 billion in assets under management.
