Taylor Swift's music makes return to TikTok

Swift’s songs have made an unexpected comeback on TikTok.  Swift’s music was removed from TikTok in February after a disagreement between the platform and Universal Music Group.

TikTok users saw the return of favorites like 'You Belong With Me', 'Lover', 'Cardigan', 'Fearless (Taylor’s Version)', 'Cruel Summer', and more to the platform. TikTok users can once again freely use these tunes in their videos without any hassle.

The drama began when Swift's label, Universal Music Group, accused TikTok of not protecting its artists from AI-generated tracks being widely used on the platform. This led to the 'swift' removal of music from artists like Swift, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, and others.

Variety speculates that perhaps TikTok struck a separate deal with Swift, given that she owns her masters and likely has some say in these matters, despite being distributed by UMG and having signed with the company’s publishing division in 2020, reports Variety. 

Another possibility is that Swift is teaming up with TikTok to promote her new album, 'The Tortured Poets Department', just as she did with her last album, 'Midnights'.
