TikTok and Universal Music Group (UMG) have reached a "multi-dimensional" deal that will restore the music of UMG's vast client roster – including Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, and Drake – to the app.

The joint agreement, reached on May 1, includes new stipulations between UMG and TikTok, and is being described as "a new era of strategic collaboration between the two organizations", according to a press release.

The two companies said they are "working expeditiously" to return the music of UMG artists to the app. Of course, Taylor Swift had already made a comeback to the app ahead of the promotion of her album The Tortured Poets Department, becoming the only UMG artist to do so before the new deal was inked.

This will be major news for both creators and users who have encountered a certain kind of silence on the app since February: After all, UMG and Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) own an estimated 20 to 30 percent of popular music on TikTok.
