TAYLOR SWIFT ON JIMMY IOVINE
Taylor谈及Billboard Power 100获得者之一——JImmy Iovine

“The first time I spoke to Jimmy Iovine, it was on a 5 a.m. conference call with my management team and the top guys at Apple. Earlier that day, Father’s Day to be exact, I had written a blog post criticizing Apple Music, the new streaming service Jimmy had worked tirelessly to create and cultivate. The ‘Apple Letter’ went viral. I remember thinking, ‘Jimmy Iovine must hate me right now.’ But to my surprise, the voice I heard on the other end of the phone was jovial and thoughtful. He told me that he thought those of us in the industry speaking up about this were right. Later on I would learn that Jimmy was one of the voices that advocated in my favor, and in favor of fairly compensating all music creators for Apple’s three-month free trial period.

第一次我与Jimmy Iovine谈话,是在一次清晨5点我的管理团队与一些苹果高层人员的电话会议中进行的。在那一天的早些时候,确切地说是父亲节那天,我写了一篇博文,对Apple Music这个Jimmy为此付诸了孜孜不倦地努力而创建的新的流媒体服务发表了批评。不久后我写的那封"给苹果的公开信"像病毒一样地传播开来。我记得我当时还这样想,“Jimmy Iovine现在肯定讨厌死我了。”但是让我惊讶的是,我从电话那头听到的声音,却是友好快活和很体贴的。他告诉我,他认为像我们那些在音乐产业中的人们对这方面的说法(应该是指在Apple Music三个月试用期内 艺人也要得到相应的报酬这种看法)是正确的。后来我得知,Jimmy是那些支持我的人之一,并且他支持在苹果的三个月试用期内为其中所有音乐创作人公平地提供报酬。

“Since that day, I’ve gone on to work with Jimmy and [Apple Music original content director] Larry Jackson on a concert film of The 1989 World Tour. The brainstorming sessions and meetings about this project were electric, with ideas being shared and bounced around with such excitement. Jimmy is one of those rare people who is thrilled by doing what he does every day. His energy is contagious.

自从那天以后,我继续与Jimmy和(Apple Music原创内容导演)Larry Jackson合作,录制了1989世界巡演电影。关于这一项目而开展的那些集聚众人智慧的会议很是令人激动,人们的主意得到了分享和交流。Jimmy是那些罕有的会为他每天的所作所为而感到兴奋的人之一。他的能量是很有感染力的。

“I’ll never know what would’ve happened if Jimmy hadn’t been at Apple, factoring his industry knowledge, humility and generosity into the equation. But I do know this: Jimmy respects the people who make music, and in turn, has become one of the most loved and revered people in the music world.”

如果Jimmy没有在Apple,投入他的产业知识,谦虚和慷慨大方的态度的话,我也许永远都不会知道会发生什么。但我确实知道这个:Jimmy尊重那些制作音乐的人们,反过来,他也成为了在音乐界中最受爱戴和尊敬的人之一。
