You're actually accusing Apple of publicly lying about this whole issue based on zero evidence. Do you even understand how executive decisions work. The social media cycle works 24/7 to spread breaking news. CEOs have to make quick decisions in response to negative stories and limit PR damage. Yes, they even do this on Sundays.

Tim Cook made an executive decision to change policy to head off a PR storm. Why try and invent some far-fetched convoluted explanation with zero evidence?

What kind of GOSPEL?

People used to have to wait for the newspaper, which they had to pay for. We wouldn't even have heard Taylor's original message in the media UNTIL tomorrow morning at 6 AM, that's like a full 24 hours!

Then people had to wait for the six 'o clock news.

Now social media is instant, worldwide, and virtually free. If you think major companies still do business on a 9-5 schedule everyday and work their PR issues slowly, Idk what to say.

I mean, look at companies on social media making memes like this on Superbowl Sunday

They are PERCHED.

Yep so now they say it was all planned because they have nothing left. They are going to have to do a better job of hating.

Mess, I didn't expect Apple to respond so soon.. that's so weird. But now Taylor has to let Apple stream her album or they expose her. Sounds like a calculated plan from the beginning. Go Apple being the first online streaming service to finally get Taylor Swift's album. Apple's winning it seems.

Taylor being the reason why so many artists will be paid for their work. This is Taylor's world and we're living in it.

It's actually mine but she can coexist it's cool.

Her caring that small/indie artists get compensated properly has nothing to do with her pay.

Make a legitimate connection or take your straw-man arguments and leave.

"This is not about me". She said that she was removing 1989 for the small artists, and yet the small artists are going to get paid now and there hasn't been a peep from her about the album. Their profits likely won't be anything to write home about while Taylor's will be greater than anyone's. You'd think that she would advocate for a more equal pay system than per stream, but she won't because she's benefiting.

To Apple, Love Taylor. I write this to explain why I'll be holding back my album, 1989, from the new streaming service, Apple Music.

I mean... I'm sure she'll put it up tho.

We get free VEVO because of adverts.

Video pays far more money in terms of ad revenue than any thing else on the internet.

Talk about making literally 0 sense. What would be that "equal pay system" that she could fight for? Having all the revenue from Apple Music equally divided by the amount of people allowing their music in there? You're truly doing the most now

[♚ PRiNCE HiGH ♚]

QUEEN getting the girls pressed af

People acting like it's IMPOSSIBLE for them to communicate with Taylor once her post went online to change that policy (which already received tons of complaints before taylor's post) within few hours.

[Nialler]

The kids here acting like they are Tim Cook I'm living for the level of delusion of her stans, at least now we know why she was ass kissing apple so hard in that letter.

[popmagic]

I will be enjoying my streams of Style from my trial. Yass hunty.

[Kayhan]

What a big stunt

That is how you do tbh
Taylor and Apple double slayage

Well, the people "acting like they are Tim Cook" are talking based on the actual receipts currently available, unlike you who are just making assumptions out of thin air. Based on this scenario, i'd say the one looking delusional is another person

What evidence do you have that Apple changed their policy to avoid a media **** storm, rather than, say, they realized the error of their ways?

We're all operating on common sense here.

If you think of, that's nice money for the artists. When artists earned the most in the 80's and 90's they almost get nothing for their videos.

Me by myselfI invested in musica over the years for about $ 20 thousand but I've only two DVD's from Smashing Punmpins and Tori Amos for about $ 30.

[AMENHOOKER]

How can one woman have so much power?

[feuxtography]

I find it odd that everyone is lunging to "taylor ha power."

My first reaction to the tweets was that they were obviously trying to expose she doesn't want 1989 streamed on major services. Chances are she still wont let them stream the album and that whole post will make her look extremely bad.
