Clout! 

Taylor Swift wins against Apple






Apple Music: Money, power and Taylor Swift






Taylor Swift's PR Move Pushes Apple to Reverse Course on Paying Artists during Apple Music's Three-Month Trial



Though even with the change, Cue says that he doesn't know if the changes will be enough to get Swift to put "1989" on Apple Music. He also says that wasn't his reasoning for making the change. Kafka said it "was hard to tell if he was saying that with a straight face."




The Swift rise of Taylor Inc.



Additionally, Swift's Red Tour garnered more than $150 million in revenue during its 15 month run. The tour earned Swift almost $40 million alone from touring, album sales, royalties, and streaming fees, and that's just in the U.S., according to Billboard.

At only 25, Swift owns $86 million worth of real estate including a waterfront mansion in Rhode Island, a three bedroom house in Beverly Hills, and a Tribeca penthouse. She has made over $33 million from endorsements with Diet Coke, CoverGirl, Keds, Sony, Elizabeth Arden, L.e.i Jeans, and American Greetings.





The Letter that changed everything

It showed what hypocrites Apple were being since their iBooks battle with the US.

She didn't even have to say anything about their "too much cash" problem, but I think Apple got the idea.


To Apple,  Love Taylor

Taylor Swift Bites Apple Music Announcing No Deal for "1989" Album



Taylor Swift:

This is not about me. Thankfully I am on my fifth album and can support myself, my band, crew, and entire management team by playing live shows. This is about the new artist or band that has just released their first single and will not be paid for its success. This is about the young songwriter who just got his or her first cut and thought that the royalties from that would get them out of debt. This is about the producer who works tirelessly to innovate and create, just like the innovators and creators at Apple are pioneering in their field…but will not get paid for a quarter of a year's worth of plays on his or her songs.
