“Last week, Taylor Swift released a minute-long clip she filmed for Apple Music that featured her working out and listening to a playlist dedicated to exercise, with Drake and Future’s ‘Jumpman,'” Hugh McIntyre reports for Forbes. “”
“Anything with the pop star in it is sure to grab eyeballs, but what made this minute-long segment especially entertaining was both her rapping along to the hip-hop lyrics, and her losing focus and falling flat on her face on the treadmill, as we all have probably done at least once in our lives,” McIntyre reports. “Since then, the song has been enjoying incredible gains in both sales and streams, and Swift is yet again in the spotlight (as if she ever really left).”
“Just a few days after Taylor’s trip-and-fall gag hit the web, sales of the song on iTunes have jumped an incredible 431% around the world,” McIntyre reports. “The commercial, which Swift premiered on her social channels but which has since all but taken over the internet in meme form, is just the first to come from the powerhouse pairing. Apparently, the company has several more spots featuring the country-turned-pop singer, and they aren’t sticking to digital formats, but rather heading to traditional TV as well.”

It wasn’t just on the web – I have seen it as an actual commercial on TV during either American Idol or The Voice not sure which..
Taylor is the new Oprah.
That’s funny. Kinda true though.
He should send her some hotline bling for a tip.
She had me at the moment she rolled her head around.
She had me at “I hate cardio” 😉
She’s a doll, but she needs more meat on her bones.
Oh, and that rap shit really sucks.
Drake’s music is F’n garbage
i thought everyone was streaming, so who is buying drake’s crap? 431 people?
Not everyone streams. I’ll stick to buying my music and subscribing to iTunes Match as long as it is offered. 70+ gigs of music meticulously added to iTunes/playlists and available on all my devices without delay. And not a single song from Drake to be found.
Well, more power to Apple, hopefully.
Not a fan of hers or even Drake, but the commercial is pretty good … Although, that fall is brutal!!!
