Yes, Taylor Swift currently has a record label. She is signed with Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group (UMG), which she joined in November 2018. This marked a significant change in her career after leaving her long-time label Big Machine Records.

Swift's relationship with Republic Records has been notably different from her previous label arrangement. Under this deal, she owns all her master recordings for music released after signing with Republic Records, including albums like "Lover," "Folklore," "Evermore," "Midnights," and her re-recorded albums.

Before Republic Records, Taylor Swift was with Big Machine Records from 2005 to 2018. She signed with them at age 15 and released her first six studio albums through this label. The dispute over her master recordings with Big Machine Records later led to her decision to re-record her earlier albums.

Here's a timeline of Taylor Swift's record label history:

2005-2018: Big Machine Records
2018-present: Republic Records (Universal Music Group)

Her current deal with Republic Records is considered groundbreaking in the music industry. The agreement not only gives her ownership of her masters but also provides her with more creative control and better terms for streaming revenue sharing.

Through Republic Records, Swift has achieved numerous milestones, including:

Multiple #1 albums on the Billboard 200
Record-breaking streaming numbers
Successful re-recordings of her earlier albums
Full control over her artistic direction

It's worth noting that Swift's move to Republic Records has been instrumental in her ability to re-record and release her earlier albums as "Taylor's Version," which has become a significant part of her recent career success.
