Taylor Swift is officially putting her wildly popular "1989" album on Apple Music, the singer announced via tweet Thursday. 

Swift has been heralded with convincing Apple to change its policy around the new streaming service.

Originally, Apple wasn't going to pay musicians any royalties during its three-month free trial period.

But after the singer wrote a furious Tumblr post calling Apple's decision "shocking, disappointing, and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous company," Apple changed its mind. 

"Apple Music will pay artists for streaming even during customers' free trial period," company SVP Eddy Cue tweeted Sunday night. "We hear you @taylorswift13 and indie artists. Love, Apple."

Although Swift said she was "elated and relieved" upon Cue's announcement, this is the first confirmation that her own music will be available.
