Taylor Swift's album 1989 is officially coming
to Apple Music!
After persuading Apple to pay artists and
record labels for streaming their music during
the 90-day free trial period, the 25-year-old
"Shake It Off" singer announced earlier today
that she will allow Apple Music to stream her
hugely successful album.
"After the events of this week, I've decided to
put 1989 on Apple Music...and happily so,"
the Grammy winner tweeted Thursday before
adding, "This is simply the first time it's felt
right in my gut to stream my album. Thank
you, Apple, for your change of heart."
The pop star also clarified, "In case you're
wondering if this is some exclusive deal like
you've seen Apple do with other artists, it's
not."
Go, T.Swift!
Apple's senior vice president of Internet
services and software Eddy Cue announced
earlier this week that the company will pay
artists. "We hear you @taylorswift13 and indie
artists. Love, Apple," Cue tweeted in response
to Swift's lengthy letter convincing Apple
Music to pay artists.He added in a magazing
interview, "When I woke up this morning and
saw what Taylor had written, it really solidified
that we needed to make a change. And so
that's why we decide we will now pay artists
during the trial period."
Swift responded with, "I am elated and
relieved. Thank you for your words of support
today. They listened to us."
Swift also got a shout-out from boyfriend
Calvin Harris over the victory. "I just played a
gig inside a giant owl and my girl just changed
the entire music industry what a day," he
tweeted.
