WASHINGTON: Taylor Swift celebrated her 26th birthday by announcing that Apple’s streaming service would show the film of her “1989” global tour.
The deal came months after Swift threatened to boycott Apple and ban it from streaming her latest album in a spat over artist compensation.
“Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes. I have a little surprise for you. #1989WorldTourLIVE@applemusic,” Swift wrote Sunday on Twitter to her 67 million followers.
A short preview of the concert film was attached to the message.
Apple in turn tweeted that the film would be “only on #AppleMusic” starting on Dec. 20.
Apple’s Beats 1 Internet radio is set to interview Swift on Monday to discuss the deal. Subscribers to the Apple Music service, which opened for business in June, will be able to watch the pop star performing live such hits as “Shake it Off,” “22” and “Bad Blood.”
