The power of Taylor Swift

Quote:

What hope is there for the rest of us when Taylor Swift can make a giant like Apple bend to her will?

Quote:

Singer and activist Billy Bragg praised Swift on Facebook.

"I have to take my hat off to her now that she has defeated Apple Music's attempt to give our music away for free on their new streaming service," Bragg wrote. "Taylor can do this because she exercises control over her own work, rather than following the standard practice of signing all rights over to her record company. We need to see more of this in the industry if artists hope ensure that the rights of creators can trump the might of corporations."

Billy Bragg is the guy who previously blasted Taylor when she took her music off Spotify. He said that she was in cahoots with youtube MusicKey. He later recanted and admitted he was wrong about that. Now here he is praising her for helping out the music creators! Taylor converting another former critic!

Veterans and newcomers/indies alike. Twitter has been buzzing with artists, new and established, all praising her for standing up for them.

It doesn't even matter if this was a pr stunt or if she was in it for the money or not. She's getting real stuff done for her industry and her peers are genuinely happy and thankful for it. It's more than any of my faves have been doing to combat this problem tbh.

Not gonna front, I hated Taylor so much before this incident. But after her stance on AM I started to feel sympathy towards her. She has a hard to earn new fan tbh.

She should start her own label that lets artists maintain the control and rights of their work and give them artistic freedom. I mean, there's some that already do that, but none of them have Taylor as CEO. Lol Her impact and influence is incredible.
