Taylor Swift gets Apple to reverse its "no pay policy"

[ALonelyDad]

Taylor Swift is probably the most powerful figure in Music today..she has that pull.

Whitney had no power cuz she didnt write and never went on tour so she was never caked up like that.

Why were big artists like Whitney & Mariah not touring?

The money from CD sales in the 90s was too good. People only tour like crazy now cuz there's no money in sales

I didnt mean literally never. Plus look at that page, her last American tour was in 98 and she was playing theaters. Wang Theater in Boston, 3600 seats. Taylor Swift sold out 2 shows this July at Gillette Stadium (where the patriots play)

The tour before that, off The Bodyguard, she was playing Radio City and 10k arenas

Tour before that.."The singer played to low attendances and even cancelled some dates due to poor ticket sales. "

She doesnt own her masters but she owns part of the label that she's signed to (Big Machine)

Whitney had no power cuz she didnt write and never went on tour so she was never caked up like that. Mariah had power once, she got that crazy Def Jam deal which they later paid her to walk away from, but she fell off and like Whitney never bothered building up her touring business

Apple will pay royalties to music labels and publishers during the three-month free trial of its Apple Music streaming service, the company has confirmed, after protests from independent labels and musician Taylor Swift.

Guardian Newspaper.


indie labels were also protesting, meanwhile, indie artists prsiaing tidal for giving them that paper and more of it….jay will be seen as a hero decades from now. true revolutionaries never get their props in their time, meanwhile jays grand kids will be proudly holding unto that legacy their grandaddy built

Taylor out here winning. Even in her statement she focused on indie artists who don't have the power she has. Meanwhile Jay fukked up by marketing Tidal with a bunch of big artists basically demanding a pay raise...

Breh, you're not wrong but to use this to make that point is kinda low . . Taylor Swift's statements are expertly pandered toward teens on tumblr

Whitney had been out since 1986 and did 10 tours so her last dates being 12 years later is nothing. That's a good run not even including the 'special appearances', charity performances, etc.

Taylor Swift started in 2006. She's been out 9 years and done 4 tours.

There really is no comparison.
