Apple Music wins exclusive video deal with Taylor Swift

The singer, who turned 26 on Dec. 13, Sunday, wrapped her “1989” world tour in Melbourne, Australia on Dec. 11 and arrived in Los Angeles early in the morning on Dec. 12, Saturday.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift fans signed up to Apple Music will have themselves a very nice “Swiftmas”. Jonas Akerlund is listed as the director of the video in the description of the trailer.

Over the weekend, Taylor Swift celebrated her 26th birthday.

The deal with Apple Music is a noteworthy one, considering where the pop star and the new streaming service were six months ago.

T-Swizzle announced the 1989 World Tour LIVE Concert Film on her Instagram with a little clip of what fans can expect. As for Swift, there’s no official word on how much the deal is worth, but Re/code notes that “sources say she’s getting paid for it”.

Swift’s stadium tour featured a number of her hit songs, including every track from “1989”, which has sold more than 5 million units and earned her seven Grammy nominations, including album of the year. Apple took Swift’s criticisms on board and remedied their service so that they were paying artists during and after free trials.

Apple chiefs later reversed their decision in a landmark victory for Taylor, but the singer has now revealed she feared the stunt could backfire on her. And be sure to keep an eye out for Tay’s gorgeous #girlsquad – such as Cara Delevingne, Lena Dunham, Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Hailee Steinfeld and Karlie Kloss – who will all also make an appearance. The interview will delve into the video as well as other Swift-related topics. Apple Music has no ad-supported free tier, like those on Spotify and YouTube. The 1989 World Tour LIVE captures Taylor’s entire performance from Sydney with never seen footage filmed backstage and during rehearsals with surprise musical and special guests that appeared on The 1989 World Tour.
