Taylor Swift has credited her mother with giving her the courage to stand up to tech giant Apple amid a row over the company?s new streaming service.
The singer hit headlines across the globe when she wrote an open letter to the firm accusing bosses of short-changing artists by refusing to pay royalties during a three-month free trial period for subscribers.
Apple chiefs later reversed their decision in a landmark victory for Swift, and the pop star has now revealed she wrote the letter in the middle of the night and turned to her mother, Andrea Finlay, for advice before she published it.
