Swift was quick to respond to Cue’s announcement, tweeting ‘I am elated and relieved. Thank you for your words of support today. They listened to us.’ Speaking to Buzzfeed, Cue said that the decision to revise Apple Music’s policy was due to the criticism from Swift and independent labels.

“We’ve been watching the discussion for the past week,” Cue said. “We want artists to be paid for their work, and when we hear from them — from Taylor or from indie artists — we listen to them. Taylor’s tweet today solidified the issue for us and we decided to make a change.”
