(KTLA) – Attention TikTokers and Swifties, Taylor Swift’s music is back on the social media platform.

Her music, along with some of other artists from Universal Music Group, was pulled from the platform after a licensing deal between TikTok and the music company expired earlier this year.

Since then, music from such artists as Bad Bunny, Drake, Adele and Billie Eilish no longer appears on TikTok’s official music library.

However, users discovered some of Swift’s music was added back to the platform on Thursday. The available songs on TikTok from the “Anti-Hero” singer seem to be from the period since her signing with Universal in 2018.

Such songs as “Lover,” “Cardigan” and “Style” appear on TikTok’s official music library along with Swift’s re-recording of her older hits like “Enchanted,” “Love Story” and “Red.”

It’s unclear how Swift, whose newest album “The Tortured Poets Department” comes out next week, could have her music added back to the platform while the UMG ban is still in place.

The New York Times reported that while Swift is a part of Universal’s roster of artists, she also owns the rights to her own recordings as well as her songwriting rights, which the Universal Music Publishing Group, a division of the company, administers.

Official music from such artists as Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga and Drake, all of whom are also a part of UMG, still aren’t available on the social media platform.
