Music from Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo and The Weeknd is returning to TikTok, thanks to a “multi-dimensional licensing agreement” with Universal

Taylor Swift.

Universal Music Group and TikTok have announced that they’ve reached a “multi-dimensional licensing agreement” that will see Universal’s huge catalogue of music return to the short-form video platform.

This appears to mark the end of a row that came to a head in January, when Universal announced that it was calling “time out” on TikTok due to a breakdown in negotiations over what it described as “three critical issues - appropriate compensation for our artists and songwriters, protecting human artists from the harmful effects of AI, and online safety for TikTok’s users.”
