Sony Music Publishing Nashville and Verse 2 Music have announced the extension of their global publishing agreement with Joybeth Taylor. The companies also announced the expansion of their partnership with Joybeth through the addition of TAYCAN Entertainment.

Known for penning #1 hits including Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas,” she has written songs for artists such as Morgan Wallen, Jordan Davis, Kane Brown, Vincent Mason, Warren Zeiders, Gavin Adcock, Hudson Westbrook, Koe Wetzel, Kameron Marlowe, Zach John King and more.

“The only thing that outpaces Joybeth’s big dreams and talent is her unstoppable work ethic, and it has been inspiring to see her career soar to even greater heights,” shares Rusty Gaston of Sony Music Publishing Nashville. “I couldn’t be happier for Joybeth and Verse 2 for all their successes, and with TAYCAN joining the partnership, we’re confident the best is yet to come.”

“To extend with Sony / Verse 2 and add Taycan on is a dream come true. I couldn’t have a better team championing me and my songs! Excited for everything to come,” shares JoyBeth.

Currently ranking at #2 on Billboard’s Top Country Songwriters chart and #7 on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 Songwriters chart, Taylor has made a name for herself as one of the most sought-after songwriters in Nashville.
