Taylor Swift’s documentary release on Apple Music did not go smoothly
Up to date: 18:04 EST, 20 December 2015 Vance Joy has bid farewell to Taylor Swift by gifting the American show star with a worthwhile piece of art following the end result of her world tour.
‘The 1989 World Tour Live’ was directed by Jonas Akerlund, who has directed music videos for the likes of Madonna, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and more in the past.
The 28-year-old singer turned to Ken Done one of Australia’s most iconic artists to help him out, commissioning him to produce a masterpiece that is a “classic Sydney work” including her name emblazoned across the Harbour Bridge for the 25-year-old pop star.
The two-hour video, which is available exclusively through Apple’s music streaming service, was filmed in Sydney’s ANZ Stadium. Because of the problems, some fans have commented about releasing a physical copy of the video instead.
The “Welcome to New York” singer bent over backwards catering her myriad visitors’ wishes during the recently concluded “1989” tour, giving them free rein over logistics as minute as what color the audience members’ light-up wristbands would glow during the performance. While it did manage to fix these bugs, the snag may have caused Apple Music some criticism from its dedicated user-base.
Earlier this month (Dec15) Taylor sat down with Apple Music for an exclusive interview and during the chat the superstar gave insight into her daily life, noting fame heightens paranoia about people being out to get her.
Fortune also reports that the competition between Apple Music and Spotify is about to get intense, with the former most likely catching up to the widely used Spotify by next year.
