Taylor Swift to Release ‘1989’ Concert Special on Apple Music
In a post on Twitter, Swift wrote, “Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes”.
You won’t be surprised to learn that the concert video has a trailer (posted above) because, hello, this is Taylor. Fans can listen to it on Apple’s radio station, Beats 1.
Subscribers to the Apple Music service, which opened for business in June, will be able to watch the pop star performing live such hits as “Shake it Off”, “22” and “Bad Blood”. After this entire episode, Swift made the decision to offer 1989 on Apple Music. I’m not sure you know that Apple Music will not be paying writers, producers, or artists for those three months.
Swift and Apple announced Sunday that the still-fledgling offering from Apple will be the exclusive home of the “1989” world tour concert video.
The singer, who turned 26 on Dec. 13, Sunday, wrapped her “1989” world tour in Melbourne, Australia on Dec. 11 and arrived in Los Angeles early in the morning on Dec. 12, Saturday.
A few weeks after this, Taylor exclusively released her 1989 album in Apple Music. Are they going to turn the video camera on?
‘I wonder what it would look like if they were all lit up, and just dancing around like no one was watching them’. She added that she used to be upset about the approach and advised the company to consider the music industry.
Apple then backed down and in astounding U-turn confirmed they will begin to pay artists during this period. Swift and Apple have encouraged a strategic relationship since she publicly denounced the company’s treatment of indie artists last summer.
The “1989” tour, which ended Saturday, had more than $240 million in ticket sales. Presumably, this particular concert was chosen for the doc because it took place before more than 70,000 fans in a country that heretofore was thought only to exist in Hugh Jackman’s mind.
