To Apple, Love Taylor

I write this to explain why I’ll be holding back my album, 1989, from the new streaming service, Apple Music. I feel this deserves an explanation because Apple has been and will continue to be one of my best partners in selling music and creating ways for me to connect with my fans. I respect the company and the truly ingenious minds that have created a legacy based on innovation and pushing the right boundaries.

I’m sure you are aware that Apple Music will be offering a free 3 month trial to anyone who signs up for the service. I’m not sure you know that Apple Music will not be paying writers, producers, or artists for those three months. I find it to be shocking, disappointing, and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous company. This is not about me. Thankfully I am on my fifth album and can support myself, my band, crew, and entire management team by playing live shows. This is about the new artist or band that has just released their first single and will not be paid for its success. This is about the young songwriter who just got his or her first cut and thought that the royalties from that would get them out of debt. This is about the producer who works tirelessly to innovate and create, just like the innovators and creators at Apple are pioneering in their field…but will not get paid for a quarter of a year’s worth of plays on his or her songs.

These are not the complaints of a spoiled, petulant child. These are the echoed sentiments of every artist, writer and producer in my social circles who are afraid to speak up publicly because we admire and respect Apple so much. We simply do not respect this particular call.

I realize that Apple is working towards a goal of paid streaming. I think that is beautiful progress. We know how astronomically successful Apple has been and we know that this incredible company has the money to pay artists, writers and producers for the 3 month trial period… even if it is free for the fans trying it out.

Three months is a long time to go unpaid, and it is unfair to ask anyone to work for nothing. I say this with love, reverence, and admiration for everything else Apple has done. I hope that soon I can join them in the progression towards a streaming model that seems fair to those who create this music. I think this could be the platform that gets it right.

But I say to Apple with all due respect, it’s not too late to change this policy and change the minds of those in the music industry who will be deeply and gravely affected by this. We don’t ask you for free iPhones. Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation.

Why 'Free the Nipple' is happening

If my brother goes to a beach and takes his top off, it’s a beach If I go to a beach and take my top off, it’s a nude beach

If my boyfriend takes his top off because he is warm, he is cooling off If I took my top off because I was warm, it would be illegal

If my dad was in a magazine shirtless, he would be modelling If I was in a magazine shirtless, it would be seen as porn

If a guy runs around with his top off for no reason, nobody questions it If I was to breast feed my child however, which is totally natural and not at all sexual, I could be asked to put my breast away because I was making others feel ‘uncomfortable’

PLEASE support #freethenipple because it is so so so important and will help make everyones bodies equal

I’ve always felt some sort of tension between Josh and John David, and now I honestly believe we found the source. Unfortunately.

how do you feel about the whole josh duggar & sexual harrasment thing

it’s crappy and i wish it wasn’t real. I think people that hated the Duggars will only hate them more - no matter what they say. I think that they will be put under a religious microscope and people will be judging them harder than before.

I feel like its a tricky situation since Josh has a sort of “cocky and semi-sarcastic” personality. These together made him rather unlikable before the police report became public. I didn’t like the guy before but now I almost feel sorry for him. here me out first. his parents put his whole family on tv. they taught their children to speak loudly and not very gently about their political beliefs. They allowed the world into their home not just a few times but for a decade. yeah it’s terrible that this news came out, but JB and Michelle let the door open for a long time. 

Maybe with a better publicist they wouldn’t have been such a target, but since the secret existed it seems like it was only a matter of time before someone blabbed.
