Taylor Swift Concert Movie to Stream on Apple Music

Apple Music appears to be back in Taylor Swift’s good graces after the two were at odds earlier this year.

The pop star, who turned 26 on Sunday, said she will release The 1989 World Tour LIVE on Sunday. Didn’t manage to score tickets to her 1989 World Tour?

The 1989 World Tour Live film will be available on December 20 to Apple Music members. It seems Apple were able to reconcile with Swift much further to the point that she has chosen to release her concert film on the service. Swift announced that her hit album “1989” will be available on Apple Music.

The concert, in which she performs before 76,000 people, is directed by Jonas Akerlund, and features Swift’s performance in Sydney at the ANZ Stadium, recorded on November 28. Swift later explained to Vanity Fair that Apple treated her “like I was a voice of a creative community that they actually cared about”.

“Getting ready for this I wondered about a lot of things”. After publicly slamming the company for not paying royalties to artists during the three-month free trial period it offers for Apple Music, Swift subsequently praised the company for reversing that policy.

That’s a decent coup for Apple: Swift would be second only to Adele as a holiday-season brand evangelist for Christmas 2015.

“I think I’d be leaving a huge part out if I didn’t mention the blog post that I wrote”. According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, the music streaming service has over 6.5 million paid users with 8.5 million joining the free trial service.

“I was struck with this overwhelming sense of fear”, she tells the host. “Are they gonna turn my phone off?” Towards the end of past year, Swift removed her entire catalog of music off Spotify and then refused to place her latest album on streaming services. Are they gonna turn the video camera on?

She said: “My friends and I talk about this all the time; just being in our twenties, you don’t know what it’s going to be like when you wake up”.
