Taylor Swift has announced that she will let Apple Music stream her 1989 album.
Swift had decided to hold back the album from Apple's upcoming music service and spoke out against the company's decision to ask labels and artists to foot the bill for its free three month trial. Shortly after her open letter to the company, Apple reversed its policy and announced it would pay artists during the trial period.
A report from this morning said that Apple plans to pay 0.2 cents for each song streamed during the trial period.
-- After the events of this week, I've decided to put 1989 on Apple Music...and happily so.
In case you're wondering if this is some exclusive deal like you've seen Apple do with other artists, it's not.
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. --

Ok I'm going to give you guys a senario here and I want to to read it with an open mind set. So I'm opening up a restaurant. Similar to how apple is creating their music streaming services. I have a vendor that will ship me fresh daily food everyday. Just like how Apple has these artistes who supply them with music. So... If I was having a big one week promotion where all my food is free in the restaurant, do you think my vendor would be ok with giving me free food for a week? You know sorta like how Apple is giving music for free and not paying the vendor for 3 months. You think the food vendor would be cool with that? Honestly anyone had this issue before? If there is a vendor that gives food away for free to new grand opening restaurants let me know!!!!

I dont think these downers dont give a damn about logical reasons. All they know is Taylor is against their beloved iPhone make aka Apple and just trash talk about Taylor until it makes them feel comfortable again.

Ppl grow up...she did what was right. She gave justice to ppl that are new to music industry, who needs money to survive. She has money to live for three months without being paid, she doesn't care for money in this deal, she cared for other which everyone should be proud of. Not everyone thinks about other. She has honesty and humanity which makes her the best. We Love you Taylor Swift. I wish you the best in success of your new album and your future. Many love from me...Azim!
