She announced her new deal with a photo of herself with Universal bosses Lucian Grange and Monte Lipman. Part of her new deal means Taylor will own all of the music she records, which will mean she earns more money from sales and streams of her albums. She has also persuaded Universal to agree to repay their artists with any money they make from streams on Spotify.Photo Credit: Getty
