US stocks climb in reversal from Wednesday sell-off

Taylor Swift has reinstated her music on TikTok, putting her at odds with her own record label, Universal Music, which went to war with the social media group in February, muting her songs and the rest of its vast catalogue from the platform.

A selection of Swift’s songs was made available again on TikTok on Thursday, ahead of a planned album release next week. 

Swift, who owns the copyrights to her recordings through a 2018 deal struck with Universal, can control where her work is made available, unlike many other artists. Her return to TikTok had been in the works for some time, people familiar with the matter said.

Universal Music did not respond to several requests for comment, nor did TikTok or a representative for Swift.
