TAYLOR Swift celebrated her 26th birthday with the announcement of her concert film. Like people start screaming and it makes me rise to that, it makes me rise to their level of excitement, and thats just how its been this tour, she said. On top of debuting the documentary, Apple will be supporting the release with in-store marketing, an interview on Beats 1, and iTunes gift cards featuring Swift’s likeness.
That’s a decent coup for Apple: Swift would be second only to Adele as a holiday-season brand evangelist for Christmas 2015. Like, are they going to turn my phone off? Swift looked adorable in the picture with her blond hair all wavy around her face, as she wore a pink and blue dress which had Disney’s “Little Mermaid” printed on the front. “Like absolute terror hit”. Within hours of her post, Apple reversed its decision, and later Apple Music became the only streaming outlet to offer “1989”.
Selena Gomez posted a photo of the pals together on Instagram and added the caption: “I don’t know life without you Taylor”.
