Taylor Swift's music has made a return to TikTok amidst an ongoing contract dispute between TikTok and Universal Music Group, just before the release of her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department." This exception allows TikTok creators to once again use several of Swift's songs, such as “Cruel Summer,” “Cardigan,” and “Style (Taylor’s Version),” for their content. The return of Swift's music to the platform has been met with excitement from fans, who are now eagerly incorporating her songs into their videos. The specifics of the deal that allowed her music to return remain unclear, as does whether Swift’s new album will be available for TikTok videos upon release. This development comes after a period where music from Universal Music Group artists, including Swift, was pulled from TikTok, affecting creators and fans alike. The long-standing contract dispute between TikTok and UMG has had significant implications for artists and the TikTok community, with many hoping for a resolution soon. Fans of Swift on TikTok are particularly thrilled, planning listening parties for the upcoming album release.
