VIDEO : Apple Music Bows to Taylor Swift, Will Pay Artists During Free Trial

Taylor Swift has slayed a giant: Less than a day after the singer penned an open letter to Apple protesting the lack of artist compensation during Apple Music's free three-month trial, the company has agreed to pay artists during that period. In a series of tweets late Sunday night, Apple Senior Vice President Eddy Cue revealed, "Apple Music will pay artist for streaming, even during customer's free trial period."
Cue tweeted, "Apple will always make sure that artist[s] are paid. We hear you @taylorswift13 and indie artists. Love, Apple," a nod to Swift's open letter, "To Apple, Love Taylor."??
