We don’t ask you for free iPhones. Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation.

But will she actually start putting her music on there once they start paying?

She talked about it:

I hope that soon I can join them in the progression towards a streaming model that seems fair to those who create this music

I actually agree with her here. Even Spotify pays under it's free tier service.

Apple Music won't do nothing anyways. People overestimate Apple when it comes to their "ventures" outside of iPhones and MacBooks.

So I suppose iTunes being the main platform for music consumption for over a decade now was like, a fluke or something, right?

Taylor pretending to care about struggling artists is the funniest thing. I can't take her seriously we all know her motives when she does stuff like this. At the end of the day by the time Apple music comes out no one will even care what Taylor had to say when they see it's free. No one cares about how much the artist are getting paid, they see free music they're gonna get it. Apple should probably pay, but they're not going to. If you're a struggling artist that means you're struggling RIGHT NOW. 3 months won't kill you to make even more money after it. Taylor having some nerve acting like her producers and writers don't make bank from her. Taylor having the nerve to write this statement yet having all her albums except for 1989 on there is a joke in itself.

People would follow Taylor Swift into isis and nursery others if she said it was cool to, I don't trust sh*t these atrlrs and favs say

The iphone drag was the best part btw.

of course

its all about the money, money, money

[vuelve88]

She has the power to keep her albums off of services she doesn't like. Your faves, contractually, could neva!

[Walk_Away21]

Slay! She is completely right and it's sad you can tell most artists would be too scared to go up against Apple but she knows she is able.

[Roman Holiday]

Of course she'll never be dragged through the mud like Jay Z was.

Spotify only pays for their free tier music because they've added ads.

Apple Music has a high chance that it will do something, the 3 month membership will bring alot of people in. Plus they have a major brand. This isn't no Tidal tea.

[superben]

It's a ridiculous decision from Apple's part to not pay the artists for those 3 months tbh.

[Stitches.]

I kinda agree with her.

[Roman Holiday]

Going thru this thread, and OMG, it's worse than I thought.


Yall are such damn hypocrites its hilarious.

[h.u.r.r.i.c.a.n.e]
