The Song Returns To TikTok, Evidence Of Taylor Swift's Utuh Intelligence As Musician
JAKARTA - Some time ago there was a phenomenon that had shocked the music world. The songs of Universal Music Group artists such as Taylor Swift were suddenly withdrawn from TikTok.
The label claims the distribution of royalty rights over artists is considered too small. They consider this unfair because TikTok is growing rapidly, while the issue of royalty distribution is called inappropriate.
A number of Taylor Swift's hits have indeed disappeared from circulation. But recently the songs came back again, which proved Taylor's greatness as a musician.
Taylor's songs that were missing mostly came from old albums, where at that time he submitted the rights of the publisher to the label. Meanwhile, the rights of composers are still on behalf of himself. This is what makes Swift's works 'Congratulations'.

As is known, Taylor Swift started a new era after leaving Big Machine, recording all the songs on old albums. That way, copyright (composer) and public rights officially belong to it.
That's why Taylor Swift's song is no longer tied to labels that are in conflict with TikTok. This is a picture of the maturity of the artist in terms of musicians and business people.
Music is not only about making works and performing, but also many other things, including administration and awareness about contracts and rights. As an artist, Taylor Swift deserves to be admired with all her intelligence.
