Country music star Taylor Swift has fans in tears this April Fools Day after appearing in a new Apple Music commercial rapping to Young Money’s Drake and Future.
In the must-see 59-second clip, Swift catches an “L” during her Apple Music “Jumpman” treadmill run.
Over the past year, Swift has relied on Apple to support her music ventures.
Taylor Swift, of course, has been heavily featured throughout Apple Music and Beats 1 during its first year with exclusive access to her 1989 album, an Apple-backed 1989 World Tour movie that only Apple Music subscribers can access, and interviews with Beats 1’s Zane Lowe to talk about the album and tour. And now Taylor Swift is helping sell Apple Music. (9 to 5 Mac)
This week, rap star Kanye West‘s The Life Of Pablo album premiered on Apple Music.
Kanye West’s latest album, The Life of Pablo, has arrived on Spotify, Google Play Music, and Apple Music. It was reported yesterday that West’s still-changing album would soon appear on the services, despite the self-proclaimed greatest artist ever saying it would remain a Tidal exclusive forever, and would “never never never be on Apple.” He might be half true to his word, however — at present, The Life of Pablo has yet to turn up on iTunes.

Buzz about the project arriving on Apple Music developed earlier in the week.
“Famous” and “I Love Kanye” are already available on services other than TIDAL including Spotify, Apple Music, Rhapsody, and the just-launched Soundcloud Go. Now Mashable has learned that the entire album is expected to be released to other streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, Rhapsody, and Google Play on Friday. (Mashable)
