Taylor Swift won't release her '1989' album on Apple Music
Taylor Swift isn't just unhappy with how Spotify does its business. This time, she's refusing to work with Apple on its new streaming service, Apple Music. In an open letter addressed to the company, Swift reasons she doesn't want to make her 1989 album available on the service because they won't be paying the artists or producers during the three-month trial period when it launches. She says she's worried about the young talents who are counting on those initial singles to stay afloat. Swift thinks it's unfair for Apple to have people work for nothing when they have money to spare.
We're not sure what Apple would plan to do after this but the company has yet to respond to her letter. The company initially promised to pay higher than the normal rate to compensate for the trial period but we're wondering if that'll be enough if the big acts start to pull out their stuff.
