Well it looks like Apple listened to her.

Wait, Taylor's impact

Too strong  

Slay me queen, saving indie artists around the world. Her efficiently accomplishing what Tidal's entire goal in a single tumblr post

Why Taylor is not opening her own  streaming service instead of complaining all the time

because shes smart

I don't get people who call her greedy. Who the f*ck wants to work for free? 

It's more like you're the cheap ones who refuse to buy the music you're consuming.

people bought her album, (way too much imo) THAT is her paycheck for her work, along with people buying tickets to her shows. these streaming services are just slightly exclusive radio stations, thats all.

do you assume ryan seacrest only plays music he makes as a radio dj? no.

Some of y'all are so pressed about Taylor, by the end of this year you'll be liquid. She just made music history, again.

She's smart. She's not going go let Apple use her so they can get tons of subscribers and she gets nothing. It makes sense what she's doing. The only greedy one here is Apple. There's no benefit to the artists. 

I completely agree.

I've read so many crazy comments on the internet about this. People calling her a greedy  girl. I was really SHOCKED. This is not about Taylor, this is about economy. 

We have a company who wants to create a NEW service by investing NO MONEY. That's absurd. It can't even be defined as an Investment, since Apple loses 0 money.

They MUST pay the providers( artists). Then, they can  offer free trials for 10 years, if they want to, BY LOSING THEIR OWN MONEY.( which they'll get back once people start subscribing).

That's called an investment. Every company, even the poorest one, does that. 

Apple( 700 billion worth) doesn't want to invest its own money. People call Taylor greedy. I'm so speechless?

And suddenly Taylor Swift is more powerful than the biggest company in the world.

[Staryu 6,162]

I don't like Taylor at all and she's definitely pushing it when it comes to her money, but Taylor does seem to really care about other artists getting paid as well. I'm glad that she's using her power for something good.

THIS IS TOO MUCH. I 'like' taylor but i mean she is greedy as ****. She exposed spotify, tidal and now apple music like she was the queen of the world. I'm sure her albums sales will start fading and she will finally join some of these streaming services.

PR stunt

very intelligent & articulate blog post. I really appreciate what she said a lot. I don't think it's greedy at all. It's not about her. it's about all musicians.

I agree with this.
