Big Machine Records Karaoke Introduction
Big Machine Records only made a handful of karaoke discs. We list these below, together with a review of this series.
We know all these discs contain Taylor Swift tracks because of the information we received in the comments below. Therefore, the discs will appeal to Taylor Swift fans.
For one thing, with five karaoke discs full of Taylor Swift songs, you will know where you are. Be that as it may, they will be a treat for fans of this talented singer.
Further information tells us they are her album releases but now in karaoke versions. Taylor Swift, of course, is an American artist who sings country/pop music.
Here are the disc ID numbers (prefixes) for the karaoke discs from this series.

Big Machine Records Karaoke Review
The splash screens are a little drab, but they cram a lot of information into them. For example, they show the song title, the singer, the writer, the publisher and the company logo. Having all that at the start means there’s no need for an end screen.
The lyrics are white on a black background, and the words change to blue as the song progresses. However, on the third disc upwards, the lyrics are orange. Those words turn pink as the track continues, but it’s a good blend.
The music is perfection in itself, and the lyrics keep good timing. The cover art shows the gorgeous Taylor Swift in various poses. As such, these discs will score highly.
**We also have a review for the video collection here.

Although we may use numerous songs for the review, we only provide one sample video to represent the label. So, the song sample for our video presentation is BMR130-11 – Taylor Swift – Our Song.

- Overall Average: 4.4
- Music And Lyrics Average: 4.5
We gave this collection 5 out of 5 in the rating system below. You can also vote for these, even if you don’t have the discs or tracks. Indeed, all you need to do is watch our presentation video above and judge that.
Desirability Factor
These Big Machine discs all feature Taylor Swift, and they play well. Of course, they are highly desirable, but we may be biased!
If you like the artist, there is a bonus with some of the Taylor Swift karaoke discs on the list. Indeed, some come with a video DVD.
Furthermore, according to the website in the link above, the price doesn’t seem to change.
So, if you buy from there, use the drop-down box to check if the price fluctuates for the discs. These discs are still on sale at Big Machines Records, where Taylor first signed up as an artist.
They were selling at under $10 per disc (2014 prices). That is good value, taking into consideration the cost of brand-new releases.
For one thing, these discs are from quite a few years ago. Nonetheless, we found the discs for sale both new and second-hand. They should be cheaper if you find them second-hand, of course.
But, should you buy from the second-hand market, always ask about their condition first. Since we first checked, the new discs are now competitively priced. So look around, and you will find these discs at rock-bottom prices.
Songbook
The karaoke in the following songbook refers to the discs in the list above. So, this means it is not Taylor’s entire song repertoire on karaoke. Be that as it may, collectors should note that Taylor Swift signed up originally with Big Machine Records. With this in mind, the karaoke versions from this firm may be closer to the original music. As you know, not all karaoke firms’ music is the same!

Official Review By Bobby: Big Machine Records Karaoke.
Hi, my name is Bobby, and I conducted the original karaoke review above. Whether you agree or disagree, you can leave your review below.
I love these.
I think these karaoke discs deserve more credit. Taylor Swift has been through a lot in her life. But she has made some great music to compensate.
