Taylor Swift’s 1989 concert film to stream exclusively on Apple Music
Yesterday, Apple announced that its Music service will have the exclusive rights to stream a concert film from Taylor Swift’s current world tour.
Taylor Swift just concluded her wildly successful world tour, one that found her sharing the stage with celebrities from all walks of life and dominating pretty much every music headline for, like 12 months straight. The trailer discription noted Jonas Akerlund as the director of the video.
On Monday, Swift will share more about the documentary in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio. The popstar criticized the streaming service for a plan to withhold payment for music artists during the services free-trial rollout. Well, be soothed: soon you will have the option to watch a video of it-if you’re an Apple Music patron, that is. They policy that Taylor was referring to is that Apple will stream music for free for a certain period of time but it won’t pay the artists.
The film is a part of Swift’s streaming deal with the Apple Music, where the film will be exclusively available alongside her entire music catalog.
The “Blank Space” singer announced the forthcoming release of her “1989” World Tour Live Concert film via Twitter.
Apple chiefs later reversed their decision in a landmark victory for Taylor, but the singer has now revealed she feared the stunt could backfire on her.
The concert footage was recorded on November 28th in Sydney, Australia, at the ANZ Stadium.
And actress Jaime King also hit Instagram with a special early birthday message and a photo of her pal on Saturday, writing, “Tomorrow is your birthday and I will be in the air”.
Her opinion was enough to catch the attention of Apple Music’s Eddy Cue.
The 26-year-old earned more than $240m (£157m) in gross ticket sales for her world tour. Releasing worldwide on December 20, the documentary features the entirety of Swift’s recent Sydney show, in addition to never-before-seen footage from rehearsals and backstage.
