Taylor Swift\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> longtime recording engineer Laura Sisk<\/strong> is over the moon about her experience working alongside the pop star.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaylor Swift, I want to thank you so much for the endless inspiration,\u201d Sisk shared while on stage at We Are Moving The Needle\u2019s Resonator Awards on Tuesday, January 30, per The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>. \u201cShe\u2019s truly one of a kind in her work ethic and getting to do so many different kinds of projects with her has made me grow so much as an engineer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three-time Grammy winner, who was there to accept the Exceptional Ears Award, noted that it\u2019s been \u201cso special\u201d to watch music she\u2019s helped create play in sold out stadiums as Swift continues her career-spanning Eras Tour<\/em> across the globe.<\/p>\n

Sisk began working alongside Swift, 34, and producer Jack Antonoff<\/strong> in 2014 for the release of her first pop album<\/a>, 1989<\/em>. The trio have since collaborated on 2017\u2019s Reputation<\/em>, 2019\u2019s Lover<\/em>, 2020\u2019s Folklore<\/em> and Evermore<\/em> and 2022\u2019s Midnights<\/em>. Sisk has also been part of Swift\u2019s rerelease project, which she pointed to as an example of the singer\u2019s talent and prowess.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tBuda Mendes\/TAS23\/Getty Images Taylor Swift doesn\u2019t celebrate her birthday until December 13, but she spent all year dominating the pop culture landscape. Already a 12-time Grammy winner, Swift\u2019s career skyrocketed even further with the debut of her highly anticipated Eras Tour and its subsequent concert film, both of which broke records across the board. She [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI want to mention the rerecords specifically as an incredible engineering challenge, and an intellectual and technical and creative pursuit,\u201d Sisk explained of the process. \u201cIt\u2019s been so exciting and it has been exercising a completely different part of my brain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swift announced in 2019 that she would rerecord<\/a> her first six albums after music manager Scooter Braun<\/strong> acquired her former record label, Big Machine Records, and gained the rights to her masters. (Braun and Swift have had a longstanding rivalry that dates back to 2016.)<\/p>\n

Braun later sold the rights to Swift\u2019s music to private equity company Shamrock Holdings for over $300 million in 2020, which, Swift claimed had occurred without her knowledge. In combatting the sale, Swift released her first rerecording, Fearless (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> in April 2021, with Red (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> following six months later. Speak Now (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> and 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version)<\/em> hit shelves in July 2023 and October 2023, respectively, with Swift inviting her previous collaborators to help recreate the tracks. (Reputation<\/em> and 2006\u2019s title album have yet to be rereleased.)<\/p>\n

All of Swift\u2019s rerecorded albums have found major success. Earlier this month, the \u201cAnti-Hero\u201d singer took the No. 1 spot<\/a> on the 2024 Billboard Power 100 list, which serves as a definitive ranking of the most powerful players in the music industry.<\/p>\n

Upon learning about her win, Swift offered advice to other music industry change makers, pointing to her rerecording as one of her most successful endeavors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe piece of advice I would give to the other executives on this list is that the best ideas are usually ones without industry precedent,\u201d Swift told Billboard<\/em><\/a> on Wednesday, January 31. \u201cThe biggest crossroads moments of my career came down to sticking to my instincts when my ideas were looked at with skepticism.\u201d<\/p>\n
