Jack Antonoff and other artists are weighing in on Universal Music Group pulling its song catalog from TikTok.
After failing to reach a new licensing deal with the social media platform, UMG abruptly announced on Tuesday that it would be pulling its catalog from the social platform which means TikTokers won't be able to use music from artists like Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Olivia Rodrigo, Drake and more.
Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor are set to make their Broadway debuts in a new production of Shakespeare's 'Romeo + Juliet' this fall. The production will feature music by Grammy Award winner Jack Antonoff, who is also making his Broadway debut, movement by Sonya Tayeh (of 'Moulin Rouge! The Musical') and direction by Sam Gold. While few details have been released about this version of the Shakespeare classic, it promises an angrier take on the tale.

At the time, Universal Music Group said that TikTok only wanted to pay its artists "a fraction of the rate that similarly situated major social platforms pay.".
Ultimately TikTok is trying to build
a music-based business, without
paying fair value for the music, Universal Music Group, via statement.
The music distributor was also concerned
with the fact that TikTok allows
AI-generated recordings on its platform...
... and is creating tools to "enable, promote and encourage" music creation with artificial intelligence.
Universal Music Group believes that this will "massively dilute the royalty pool for human artists.".
But as of April 11, Swift's music
is back on TikTok, CNN reports. .
The development comes ahead
of the release of her newest album,
'The Tortured Poets Department,' on April 19.
However, Universal Music Group's other artists are still not present on TikTok.
It's not clear what terms were met between TikTok, Universal Music Group and Swift
to return her music to the platform
