Taylor’s business clout was recently shown when Apple modified its payment policy in response to Taylor’s open letter to the corporation.
On Sunday morning, the superstar issued an open letter slamming the internet giant for its’shocking’ decision not to pay artists during a three-month free trial offered to customers.
After hours of wrangling, the company agreed to compensate every musician whose work is showcased during the trial, which begins on June 30.
‘We hear you @taylorswift13 and indie artists,’ tweeted Apple vice president Eddy Cue after personally calling the platinum-selling singer to convey the news.
‘Apple will always make sure that artists are rewarded,’ he continued.
