Taylor Swift decides to put "1989" on Apple Music after royalties concession
Taylor Swift is making a concession to Apple Music following its decision to change royalties policies.
On Thursday, Swift announced that she's going let Apple Music stream her latest hit album, "1989," which was originally released in October 2014.
"After the events of the week, I've decided to put 1989 on Apple Music...and happily so," the singer tweeted Thursday.

In case you're wondering if this is some exclusive deal like you've seen Apple do with other artists, it's not.

This is simply the first time it's felt right in my gut to stream my album. Thank you, Apple, for your change of heart.

The dramatic change of heart follows just a few days after Swift, 25, wrote an open letter to Apple, Sunday, criticizing the company's new streaming music service for failing to pay artists for a free three-month trial. Just hours later, Apple announced that it will pay royalties to artists and record labels during that time.
Earlier this week Swift's new beau Calvin Harris praised his "girl" for her open letter.
