These songs have generated significant value through years of radio play and millions of digital streams. Reports highlighted that her catalog is full of impactful songs that have shaped modern country music.

These tracks represent her journey from a young songwriter to one of the genre’s most respected stars.

Acclaimed albums Crazy Ex Girlfriend and Kerosene join the portfolio

The rights secured by Sony and Domain cover some of the most successful country albums of the last two decades. The deal includes rights to her Grammy-winning project Platinum and her landmark album, The Weight of These Wings.

These major releases helped Lambert earn 3 Grammy Awards to date. Her body of work also includes her debut album, Kerosene, and the hit Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. These records have sold millions of copies and remain popular among fans of traditional and contemporary country music today.

Songwriting credits for Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs are included

It reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart during the eligibility period. Modern music data shows that her songs continue to perform well across all major digital platforms.

This unique cross-platform strategy allows Sony to maximize the value of its songs through television, film, and digital streaming. The series is currently in early development.

Legal and financial teams finalize the complex catalog sale

The deal required months of negotiations between top legal firms to ensure all rights were transferred correctly. Lambert was represented by the firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP during the process.

Domain Capital Group was advised by the legal experts at Sheppard Mullin. While the total price was not disclosed, industry analysts note Domain manages approximately $8.2 billion in total assets.
