  • Taylor Swift: “I Just Changed The Face Of The Music Industry Forever.”

    If your employer, or a contractor for your employer, asked you to work for a while without pay, how would you respond?   Hopefully, you'd teach them how unfair that practice is.  That's just what Taylor Swift did.

    While DJ Calvin Harris was performing under the electric sky at EDC in Las Vegas, his girlfriend Taylor Swift was headlining a 1989 concert and challenging Apple Music’s 90-day free trial in Amsterdam.

    After Apple senior vice president of internet services and software, Eddy Cue, announced that the singer’s open letter convinced the company to pay artists during that free trial period, the EDM maestro took to Twitter to praise his “girl” for changing “the entire music industry.”

    Taylor took to Tumblr on Sunday to write a message that criticizes Apple’s streaming service, which she called “shocking, disappointing, and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous company.”
    She took a stance against Apple’s 90-day trial of free music streaming on behalf of every artist, writer, and producer in her “social circles” and argued that “three months is a long time to go unpaid, and it is unfair to ask anyone to work for nothing.”

    Following the virality of Taylor’s letter to the company, Cue spoke to Billboard and admitted that her note convinced the company to change their course. “When I woke up this morning and saw what Taylor had written, it really solidified that we needed a change,” he said. “And so that’s why we decide we will now pay artists during the trial period.”

    If Swift can take on Apple and win, who else can she take on?
