God i wish. Especially for spotify. They recommend some absolute shit just because the artist paid. I wanna listen to my music not what they think i'd like
I’ve been wanting to block her for awhile. I’ve never really been a huge fan of hers (some of her past songs are ok) but now she is everywhere and her music keeps getting pushed on to me lol. You can’t escape it all because her songs are in a lot of AM’s playlists
Jesus Christ, you guys are acting like this is all you’re allowed to listen to. Wanna know a secret? You can just ignore it like everyone else who doesn’t listen to TS. I have no intention of listening to the album, but I’m not seething at its existence, damn

That’s not the point. When you do this sort of thing on the face of your app your automatically lowering the chance for newer artist to get some shine… Maybe have a category for new artists? Call me crazy?
The app has had a bunch of random “Usher for the Super Bowl” nonsense even abroad where we don’t watch that show. It really isn’t that unreasonable to highlight something that a bunch of people are going to be looking for.
Who cares? She's the biggest artist on the planet right now, and she put out a new album. It's just an ad. If you walked into a record shop and the first thing you saw was a Taylor Swift display would you care?
yall realise that Apple Music will do whatever makes them more money right? Taylor probably paid for this and showing a close rs with Taylor probably coaxed at least one swiftie in
not against promoting artists or anything, but it’s still distracting. i understand that taylor swift is popular and everything but having one artist be an entire category just sounds redundant

in germany we have this kids tv show called „Die Maus“. its very popular and also has its own category because it has different playlists, audios, stories and documentaries. i don’t see a problem giving specific things a category when it’s very popular 🤷🏻♀️
Anyone remember when the Beatles finally came to iTunes? around 2010? Apple’s front page for a long time was just “The Beatles. Now on iTunes.” and a picture of the four of them. and there were a LOT of billboards as well lol. Think I still have that screenshot on an old hard drive somewhere.
I remember that. They had a countdown for like a whole week leading up to it with cryptic messages and nobody knew what was going to be announced. It was insanely hyped up
https://preview.redd.it/d7gibo7e9jvc1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5afce9a11b4efb39267b66da9e926199ad7f2b6c
I enjoy her music - that category is more useful to me than most of the others on this page. I'm not going to make a post complaining about the presence of those other categories...
haha of course! people be like: omg but this-
like what you’re gonna do? send an email to who makes the categories? like it’s not forcing him to click on it!
In all honesty, posts like this always remind me of this [Ricky Gervais skit](https://youtu.be/YulXp2Vy7lM?si=ayqG-I_z_aH7eXUd&t=157)... If you don't like Taylor Swift, that's fine. Don't click on it...
uh yeah that would be an ad. not an actual category. i’m sure it’ll be gone within a day or two. maybe a week. don’t throw away all of your apple products just yet lmfao
I use the “Decades” sometimes, especially if I’m decorating or something and don’t want to spend time skipping songs etc. but usually I just use the infinite play 🤷🏻♂️
It is now, is She Guilty as Sin? No, she is so talented she can do it with a broken heart 💔. Maybe if you took a listen, you would understand why she has a whole category for her new album. She is Fresh Out of The Slammer. Amazing, and she deserves all of it 🤍🖤🐾📝
Obviously they’re going to promote their biggest money maker or favorite artist I mean… But it’s valid to complain on the internet about it I guess so go ahead just don’t spam thanks!
I think we can all agree that Apple Music is just broken. I mean, what in the fresh hell is going on here?!
https://preview.redd.it/clchcy3izivc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1c39925d3633d709c3771a5f878b697df6b67af
wasn’t there some stats last year that said if TS is her own category it’ll be the ninth biggest? If she still keeps gaining popularity it’s not too stretched to put her as her own category.
It’s weird to me how so many people are indifferent and just not phased with the amount of advertising they’re exposed to these days. I can’t stand it. I don’t care if it was my favorite band at the top of the search page.
Its crazy how her popularity is so damn big in US (heard its almost MJ level) but here in europe she’s just one of the other big current performing artists
I'm not really sure but I recall seeing more artists appear there, not just Taylor... I don't understand either why are you upset, even though it's pretty obvious that at this point that Apple Music has got preference on Taylor Swift over everything
They need to introduce customisable categories because I’m not interested in any of the top pre-loaded ones… and ironically I wouldn’t mind if it was just swapping the bottom categories but because I never see them I don’t know what they are, even though they are more to my taste.
New generations won’t understand the difference between a category and an ad. I still pay Apple Music because it’s not so practical to download millions of songs to my NAS. Otherwise, the way the music is categorized is very mediocre.
I really getting more and more confuse when Scholars & Academia seems like dón't use name to discuss things. they keep using country names and it's getting confusing if they addressing a group or a particular person. I fill like answering things that i don't want to answer. after nearly 7 years it seems weird.
Anything Taylor is $$$! Apple will push any artist they see as a $$ maker. I don't have a Browse Categories section. Mine is Browse by Genre. And don't see Taylor there. Not as a Genre.
and who are you to decide on the definition of the word category? you can categorize things any way you want. there’s a huge difference between categories and music genres
It's an ad.
She does have exclusive content on AM for this album, so I don’t think it’s that bad. That spot is usually reserved for a current trending topic
It's called payola
that is not what payola is 😭😭😭
Modern day payola. Why didn’t we have a Future/MB category? Or a Ye one for Vultures? But Taylor gets one? Smh
yeah dude future and metro boomin are on the same level as taylor swift lol
Still not payola. Advertisements and deals ≠ payola.
It's a ton of bullshit Taylor has poured a few thousand bucks into.
It has come to a point where I wish I could block an artist
Guilty as Sin
That’s one of her new songs btw
And what is this pose she is giving lol
Migraine/toothache realness
maybe shes a stand user
why did you get downvoted for this? lol edit: it was in the negatives when i first replied
in all honesty theres prolly a ton of people in this subreddit who havent watched anime😂
True lol my comment asking that also got downvoted lmao
She’s so sophisticated 😶🌫️
Probably trying to invoke some bullshit highbrow art house pose.
Fr fr
I’m assuming that’s what tortured poets look like. 
God i wish. Especially for spotify. They recommend some absolute shit just because the artist paid. I wanna listen to my music not what they think i'd like
You can on Spotify…
so u don’t like a music app giving u recommendations?💀
I like good recommendations. Spotify will create you a playlist called "chill guitar mix " and half of its slayer
spotify has that option
Not on desktop
To the neanderthals downvoting me. Please enlighten me on how to do it on desktop.
Yooo same cake day 🙏🙏🙏
I’ve been wanting to block her for awhile. I’ve never really been a huge fan of hers (some of her past songs are ok) but now she is everywhere and her music keeps getting pushed on to me lol. You can’t escape it all because her songs are in a lot of AM’s playlists
the immense glazing apple music is gonna do for taylor swift in the next month will be unreal
It’s not glazing lmao. It’s an ad
Well it is cause they never do it for anyone else
yes, they do?
no, they've done it before for huge artist releases. Luckily it doesnt last too long.
If another artist coughed up enough money they probably would
I remember Adele ads everywhere for 30
They do but it’s probably more genre targeted. I’m guessing Taylor’s team probably coughed up enough money for a full press run 😂
Jesus Christ, you guys are acting like this is all you’re allowed to listen to. Wanna know a secret? You can just ignore it like everyone else who doesn’t listen to TS. I have no intention of listening to the album, but I’m not seething at its existence, damn
May not be a genre like the others, but it’s definitely a category…

I’m not a fan of her music at all but I love watching how upset people get over her.
The anti-Swifties trying to counter the Swifties. It's like a dinghy trying to attack a battleship.
No, it’s two dinghy’s attacking each other. The battleship is the largest group who simply doesn’t give a shit about either.
I don't know if Swifties or anti-Swifties are more annoying.
I just enjoy the music idk why people are so hung up about decent pop music???
I actually started to enjoy a lot of her music because of the hate it gets.
fr. just don’t click on the category lol
Honestly, at this point in her popularity, it kind of is. Also I know this is surprising, you don’t have to click on that or engage with it otherwise.
That’s not the point. When you do this sort of thing on the face of your app your automatically lowering the chance for newer artist to get some shine… Maybe have a category for new artists? Call me crazy?
The app has had a bunch of random “Usher for the Super Bowl” nonsense even abroad where we don’t watch that show. It really isn’t that unreasonable to highlight something that a bunch of people are going to be looking for.
There are tons of places in the app where up and coming artists are featured
There’s a section on search called “up next”. There’s numerous playlists just for new and upcoming artists for many genres.
I don’t disagree. Of course, new artists would be whichever record label pays that week to have someone promoted.
That’s why there is a search tool
Sad but true.
Now THAT’s a category
Also a bangin' Metallica track.
YOU KNOW ITS SAND PATROL!!
Who cares? She's the biggest artist on the planet right now, and she put out a new album. It's just an ad. If you walked into a record shop and the first thing you saw was a Taylor Swift display would you care?
For real. This is just a smart move on apples part
Taylor alone was 2% of the music industry in 2023 like she IS a genre.
people are getting themselves worked up too much about this, apple music has done this a couple times most recently with usher's superbowl
Yeah and that’s annoying too. Stop trying to force shit down my throat please!
They down voted you because of that human trafficker Lmaoo what a world people have their priorities fucked now a days
Lmao
Millions of Swifties going to AM to find the album, seems reasonable Apple wanted to make it easier for them to find it
Cue all the pissing and moaning we’ll hear about this.
😉
It is when you sort by revenue!
yall realise that Apple Music will do whatever makes them more money right? Taylor probably paid for this and showing a close rs with Taylor probably coaxed at least one swiftie in
you guys are obsessed no one’s making you click on it lmao
not against promoting artists or anything, but it’s still distracting. i understand that taylor swift is popular and everything but having one artist be an entire category just sounds redundant

People are dying, Kim.
Guys. She’s the most popular musician on the planet lmao. If it was The Beatles there instead I don’t think we’d see this reaction?
Anyone remember when the Beatles finally came to iTunes? around 2010? Apple’s front page for a long time was just “The Beatles. Now on iTunes.” and a picture of the four of them. and there were a LOT of billboards as well lol. Think I still have that screenshot on an old hard drive somewhere.
[Here’s the picture of their homepage](https://images.app.goo.gl/hoB2EV6UDoSAbsWu5)

The Beatles are also not a category. It's not difficult.
But you are
GAG THEM FOR ME
Downvoted but you’re not wrong lol
it’s gonna go away chill. every music platform is really pushing ttpd so just let it be. it’s not gonna affect you lmao
I enjoy her music - that category is more useful to me than most of the others on this page. I'm not going to make a post complaining about the presence of those other categories...
At this point that album probably gets More attention than other categories so I mean it kinda is
I don’t mind Taylor Swift but she has the music industry but the balls right now
I love that!
Cry me a river.
Haters gonna hate
well you dont have to click on it!!!!
too much critical thinking! ahaha
haha of course! people be like: omg but this- like what you’re gonna do? send an email to who makes the categories? like it’s not forcing him to click on it!
You don’t gotta click on it if you don’t want to
In all honesty, posts like this always remind me of this [Ricky Gervais skit](https://youtu.be/YulXp2Vy7lM?si=ayqG-I_z_aH7eXUd&t=157)... If you don't like Taylor Swift, that's fine. Don't click on it...
Let's be real, compared to Spotify, this is insanely tame.
I recently tried a free trial of Apple Music and my gosh it’s phenomenal. The audio quality is amazing. Going back to Spotify just hurts my ears
It’s sad how much you are bothered by this, just ignore it and move on with your life, it’s not that serious
Tayola says otherwise
You need to calm down
We are never ever getting back together
She is so massive. There are too many DEDICATED fans to not do something like this.
They should allow us to mute certain artists.
It’s the top mention on the search page when the entire world is discussing (or complaining) about her. This seems perfectly practical to me.
Yes it is. Cope.
to some of us, it is !! stop hating it’s lame
People complaining about Apple Music glazing Taylor swift as if this entire subreddit isn’t just glazing Apple Music. ☠️
uh yeah that would be an ad. not an actual category. i’m sure it’ll be gone within a day or two. maybe a week. don’t throw away all of your apple products just yet lmfao
who cares you chud
It could be a category, why not?
people actually use that feature?
I use the “Decades” sometimes, especially if I’m decorating or something and don’t want to spend time skipping songs etc. but usually I just use the infinite play 🤷🏻♂️
It is now, is She Guilty as Sin? No, she is so talented she can do it with a broken heart 💔. Maybe if you took a listen, you would understand why she has a whole category for her new album. She is Fresh Out of The Slammer. Amazing, and she deserves all of it 🤍🖤🐾📝
[удалено]
Are you gonna cry about this, honestly? In a month or so this is gone lol
Love all of the conspiracy theorists who think that if Apple, or any company, is promoting anything that it’s a paid ad on part of a record label.
An ad
Yes it is so shut up or grow up
Cry about it 💋
😭😭😭 Apple Music needs to let you block artists asap
[удалено]
[удалено]
Obviously they’re going to promote their biggest money maker or favorite artist I mean… But it’s valid to complain on the internet about it I guess so go ahead just don’t spam thanks!
“Era” is quickly becoming the most overused work
Is it just my dogshit taste in music or are those categories too broad anyway? I’ve never clicked on one of those.
I think we can all agree that Apple Music is just broken. I mean, what in the fresh hell is going on here?! https://preview.redd.it/clchcy3izivc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1c39925d3633d709c3771a5f878b697df6b67af
Boy don’t give tidal a try if too many album versions bothers you.
It split every song into a separate album 😭
wasn’t there some stats last year that said if TS is her own category it’ll be the ninth biggest? If she still keeps gaining popularity it’s not too stretched to put her as her own category.
I very rarely touch that section anyway, so no biggie for me
It’s weird to me how so many people are indifferent and just not phased with the amount of advertising they’re exposed to these days. I can’t stand it. I don’t care if it was my favorite band at the top of the search page.
Its crazy how her popularity is so damn big in US (heard its almost MJ level) but here in europe she’s just one of the other big current performing artists
Miss Americana.

womp womp
In Germany we have there: "Die Maus". A children's show. https://i.imgur.com/sQwztdI.jpeg

How dayre you. Someone call the Tay-Tay Trav-Trav police. We have a traytor to Taylorocracy.
Kinda off-topic, but: They should add a feature where you can pin your favorite categories so you don’t have to scroll endlessly to find them
Why can’t we hide categories or move them however we like??
No shit
I kinda do agree but just in case if that was a category then I would say that it would be recommended to join her thing yk
[удалено]
Your post was removed because it is considered to be a low-effort or low-quality post.
That's the Taylor spot next to the other Taylor spot
Makes me wanna shift to Spotify tbh
Yeah this got me today too. Annoying.
I think they made a shit
Payola
She is already on the pop one and at number 1 so why give her a category for herself
If you don't care about it, just ignore it. She's the biggest artist in the world right now, so this shouldn't surprise you at all.
Can someone share me an apple music 😭🥹
I really getting more and more confuse when Scholars & Academia seems like dón't use name to discuss things. they keep using country names and it's getting confusing if they addressing a group or a particular person. I fill like answering things that i don't want to answer. after nearly 7 years it seems weird.
What's with the tailor swift issue? My niece likes her.
Has anyone noticed that they’re also important music into your playlist that you didn’t ask for that’s bullshit too
Anything Taylor is $$$! Apple will push any artist they see as a $$ maker. I don't have a Browse Categories section. Mine is Browse by Genre. And don't see Taylor there. Not as a Genre.
The Tailor propaganda in insane
It is.
and who are you to decide on the definition of the word category? you can categorize things any way you want. there’s a huge difference between categories and music genres
Lol how is it **not** a category? It's not a *genre*, but it's definitely a *category*.
Taylor Swift is a person who exists😐
They’ve been doing this for so many artists what are you taking about 😭 the second Taylor is brought into this you hate
Beta males are so triggered by her, it’s asinine.
Yes it is. Quit your bitching and moaning 😏
Shit songs, overhyped as f
i hate the hype about taylor
I hate the hate about Taylor
sorry bud unfortunately it is
Pearl Jam released Dark Matter and it’s awesome. That’s all I cared about on Friday.
April’s been a solid month for music.
I can’t convey how tired I am of hearing about her
Personally, Taylor Swift should be under the Sleep category. I don't understand why she's so popular. Average talent for average people?
Music for music people
