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...
Taylor Swift said what Jay said verbatim shut up with your anti-Hov shyt. She was speaking directly to fans on tumblr instead off making a big press splash. Jay and every artist on Tidal focused on independent artists and the media ran with the narrative of the rich complaining and you bought it. You guy are such fools. Taylor Swift is winning because she is a white girl who is America's sweet heart who cannot be questioned ever. This is a money move.
Her current album is not on ANY streaming service because it is still selling so well. She made the same statement prior to making sure it was not on spotify to maximize record sales and money. She is just wise enough to write op-eds (written by her lawyers and PR team) instead of trying to speak for herself because artists sounds dumb when they have to. So Apple is about to launch and she conveniently lets you know ONLY her new album (which is still selling and is not available on any streaming service) won't be on there because she cares for the poor artists.
. She made sure to call Apple a "generous company" which is contrary to everything Apple stands for (so as not to burn bridges). Her PR team is A-1, if only your reasoning was as good. Even my nikka
@Atlrocafella fell for this shyt. Meanwhile most real independent artists are calling bullshyt.
Artists need a fukking Union.
