JAKARTA - A surprise came from Taylor Swift. The catalog of the pop star's song returns to TikTok after missing for 10 weeks due to chaos between the Universal Music Group label and the platform.

TikTok users found various Swift songs including You Belong With Me, Lover, Cruel Summer, The Man, ME! and others are available for use again.

Taylor Swift's music return on TikTok relates to the release of her latest album, The Torturing Poets Department, which will be released on April 19.

On January 31, Taylor Swift's music catalog was withdrawn from TikTok after labels Swift - Universal Music and TikTok failed to reach an agreement regarding licensing rights.

Universal Music claims TikTok is trying to give a lower figure than the previous deal and the platform is avoiding piracy and AI issues. TikTok denied a number of these claims.

However, there seems to be a different agreement between TikTok and Taylor Swift. Some artists on Universal labels such as Camila Cabello and Ariana Grande are still available on the platform.

TikTok did not give a statement regarding the return of Taylor Swift's songs to the platform.

In addition, Taylor Swift is suspected of promoting her latest album as before with Midnights.

Taylor Swift joined Universal Music after failing to get a catalog of her music with Sony/ATV from the start of her career.
