Taylor Swift To Release Documentary On Apple Music
If you weren’t one of the 76, 000 fans who witnessed Taylor Swift in concert when she brought her “1989” tour to Australia, you’ll soon be able to stream the live performance exclusively on Apple Music.
Taylor Swift just turned 26 and to celebrate, she’s giving the ultimate gift to Swifties everywhere. It is not available to buy but it is free for streaming for Apple Music subscribers.
Six months after publicly taking Apple Music to task for its less than generous royalty policy “Bad Blood” singer Taylor Swift revealed a new agreement between herself and the multinational technology company.
The 1989 singer celebrated her big day on December 13 at a Jimmy Iovine-hosted holiday party in Malibu alongside friends DJ Snake and Jamie Iovine (son of the Apple exec), and of course Swift’s DJ beau Calvin Harris.
Taylor Swift is offering fans who attended her 1989 World Tour a keepsake in the form of a live concert film.
She said she was withholding her 1989 album because of Apple’s stance. Guests are also said to have serenaded Swift with a special rendition of “Happy Birthday'”. “I was thinking the way it would go over is, ‘There’s Taylor nagging again.’ Looking at it now, having Apple change something so important for us in the music community, it opened my mind to the thought of working with them”.
The film, directed by Jonas Akerlund, will be available on Apple’s streaming service from 20 December (15). Are they gonna turn the video camera on? “I have a little surprise for you”, along with a short video message introducing the upcoming film.
Apple Music is now the only platform that streams “1989”, which has sold more than 5 million copies since its release in October last year and is in contention for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
“Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes”, she wrote on her twitter account. So far Apple Music is rumored to have 11 million users signed up for the free trial.
