Apple didn’t want to be the next former “lover” to be savaged for eternity in a Swift pop song.

Taylor had a Blank Space (baby) and she was going to write Apple's Name.
Don't want that! It's a Death List!

Swift has one thing on her side: she's one of the very few artists whose physical album disc sales in recent years actually exceeded one million copies (the album 1989 has sold five million copies since its release in November 2014). As such, she has the public and financial clout to make a demand like this.

Apple says that the artists are going to be paid during the 90 day demo period. . . some take this as being a "caving in" but it actually looks as if it was their original intent policy because Eddie Cue stated that "We hear you @taylorswift13 and indie artists. Love, Apple", "#AppleMusic will pay artist for streaming, even during customers free trial period", and "Apple will always make sure that artist are paid, not that they have changed the policy which was that Apple would be paying artist on a 70/30 splitwith Apple taking the short endof all revenue generated by the Apple Streaming Radio system on play counts, a far better return to artists than what is paid by the other systems. All of this kerfuffle was based on rumors about the first three month free period and the potential that there would be no revenues during that period and the demand from some artists that they get their usual full rates while the offerings may not be generating full revenues yet, even though listeners could start buying subscriptions from day one, which is REVENUE which they WILL be sharing!
Apple has NEVER stiffed the artists, creative talents, programers, or authors of the content the iTunes and App Stores sells, having passed on over $30 BILLION in revenues to developers, authors, and artists. Why should Apple start "stiffing them" now? SHEESH! PING!

You mean she didn’t ask Apple to donate the royalties to #AllLivesMatter? Or, towards the National Deficit? Or, Globull Warming? How capitalistic of her.
She had a chance to start a new trend...

Cool, like Tom Petty before her standing up to the record company and winning. Rarely happens.

Here's some insight into the entire situation.
Apple is paying indie labels $0.002 per stream for free trial
