John Fogerty , 80, of Creedence Clearwater Revival fame, revealed singer Taylor Swift was an unlikely source of inspiration.
While speaking to Rolling Stone for a May 28 interview, Fogerty noted that he is re-recording beloved Creedence Clearwater Revival songs for his upcoming album, Legacy : The Creedence Clearwater Revival , which is set to be released on August 22. He stated that he was inspired to do so after Swift famously re-recorded several of her albums because her masters were acquired by Scooter Braun. In May 2025, Swift revealed that she purchased her masters, as reported by Time magazine .
Fogerty told the publication that he wanted his new album to be called "Taylor's Version ." He also said that he "understood her plight" as an artist. Rolling Stone reported
