Taylor Swift's songs return to TikTok two months after being pulled over licensing dispute and ahead of pop star's new album release
Taylor Swift's music has made its way back to TikTok after a 10-week hiatus amid a licensing dispute between the app and Universal Music Group. The move comes ahead of her new album.
The label accused TikTok of quietly removing up-and-coming artists from the platform while promoting UMG's more famous performers, adding that the social media company didn't pay 'fair value' for the music. TikTok hit back against UMG's accusations, saying the music label was putting 'their own greed above the interests of their artists and songwriters' and claimed it is promoting a 'false narrative and rhetoric.' Swift's catalogue, along with tracks from Lady Gaga , Olivia Rodrigo , Drake, Bad Bunny and more, were withdrawn by UMG on February 1 after the label accused TikTok of trying to 'bully' it into an unfavorable contract.
