never kill yourself because you never know when is taylor releasing new music

[Taylor Swift @taylorswift13]

Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.

Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴

fez a apple music mudar as diretrizes para beneficiar pequenos artistas

retirou o catalogo do spotify em protesto a politica de pagamento e negociou diretamente com o diretor do spotify para beneficiar os artistas

e agora isso. IMPACTO

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

Universal Music is selling $1.4 billion in Spotify shares. It paid nothing for them. Spotify handed the shares over in 2008 just for letting Spotify play music, and the deal was set up so almost none of that money would ever reach the artists who made the music. Taylor Swift's 2018 contract changed that.

Back in 2008, Spotify was a small Swedish startup that needed songs to play. The big record labels had the songs. They had no reason to hand them over cheap, so the two sides cut a deal. Spotify gave them shares. The labels gave Spotify the right to play their music. Universal walked away with 5%. That stake later grew to 7% when Universal bought EMI and rolled EMI's 2% into its own. Then it drifted back to 3% as Spotify took on more investors and shrank everyone's slice. At today's prices, 3% of Spotify is worth about $2.7 billion. Universal sat on those shares for 18 years and never sold a single one. Until yesterday.

Most artists never see royalty money. When a label signs you, it pays you an advance to live on while you make the album. It also covers your studio time, your music videos, your marketing, your tour. All of those costs go on a tab. The label keeps every dollar your music earns until you clear that tab. Berklee, the music school in Boston, says as many as 96% of major-label artists never earn enough to clear it. They stay in the red their entire careers.

Sony moved first in 2018. It sold half its Spotify shares for $768 million and paid $250 million directly to its artists in cash, no matter how much each one still owed. Warner followed a few months later. It sold all of its Spotify shares for $504 million and said $126 million would go to its artists too. Warner played it differently. Most of that money went to pay down what those artists already owed, instead of putting fresh cash in their pockets.

Taylor Swift was negotiating her own deal with Universal that same year. She refused to sign unless Universal put the Sony version of the rule in her contract. Cash to artists, no matter what they owed. She wrote at the time that the clause "meant more to me than any other deal point." Universal had said publicly in March 2018 it would share Spotify money with artists. But it had not put the cash-not-credit rule in writing. Swift's contract, signed eight months later, did.

Universal is finally selling. Hundreds of millions of dollars in cash are about to land in artists' bank accounts, including artists who have spent years or decades in the red and would otherwise get nothing from a sale like this.

Most of those artists have never met Taylor Swift. All of them benefit from a single line she insisted on eight years ago.

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Taylor Swift’s record contract could lead to millions of dollars being paid to artists as UMG prepares to sell half of their equity stake in Spotify.

When Swift signed her contract in 2018, she negotiated a clause stating that any sale of UMG’s Spotify shares would result in a distribution of money to their artists, non-recoupable.

Her “non-recoupable” clause ensures that artists receive that money even if they still owe advances to the label that signed them.

i've loved every single version of taylor and her music since 2008 but her confident, self-assured thirty something years old era is by far my favorite to witness. you can tell how much effort she puts into personal growth and making sure she stays grounded and i just love her

Taylor Swift is the most-streamed artist in Spotify history.

“I’d be getting over you my whole life” is the craziest thing Taylor has ever written 😭😭

[ada ☂︎ @onlythemrys]

@latkedelrey Told my friend I don’t notice things that I have not set out to notice…they just fly over my head. They say I’m not that good a friend but my brain would just gloss over whatever it hasn’t deemed important and what it even deems sometimes isn’t. ADHD is a bitch!

No vengan a celebrar ahora el aniversario si no supieron entender la visión y el concepto hace dos años porque estaban muy ocupados quejándose de que 31 canciones era mucho
