With Taylor Swift exclusively releasing her new video “Delicate” on Spotify last week, it would appear that her tiff with the music streaming giant is officially over. Spotify CEO Daniel Ek told “CBS This Morning” on Tuesday that ending the feud took some time and travel by both parties. “I went to Nashville many, many times to talk to her team, spend more time directly explaining the model, why streaming mattered. And the great news is I think she saw how streaming was growing. I think she saw that fans were asking for it. So eventually when the new album came out, she came to Stockholm and spent some time with our team there figuring out a way that made sense for her,” he said. In 2014 Swift pulled her entire catalog of music from Spotify because she felt the company wasn’t fairly compensating artists. “But look, I mean, for me, first off, like I – I should have done a much better job communicating this. So I take full ownership for doing that,” Ek said of the controversy. New video for #Delicate at midnight EST tonight.

(AP) TOKYO – The Japanese government and coast guard said six Chinese surveillance ships entered Japanese waters Friday near disputed islands in the East China Sea, adding to tensions between the Asian giants. After Japanese coast guard ships telegraphed warnings to the Chinese vessels, two or three moved beyond territorial waters but the others remained within the 12 nautical mile zone around the uninhabited islands that are controlled by Japan but claimed by both nations, said Yasuhiko Oku, an official with the Japanese coast guard in Tokyo. It was the first intrusion by Chinese vessels into what Japan says are its waters since Tokyo bought the islands from their private Japanese owners this week. The islands, called Senkaku by Japan and Diaoyu by China, are surrounding by rich fishing grounds and are near key shipping lanes. China sends patrol boats to disputed islands Anti-Japanese protests have since been held in various Chinese cities, and some Chinese have called for a boycott of Japanese goods. The Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed that six surveillance ships had entered waters near the islands, which are also claimed by Taiwan, and began “patrol and law enforcement” there. “These law enforcement and patrol activities are aimed to demonstrate China’s jurisdiction over the Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated islets and ensure the country’s maritime interests,” the statement said. Earlier this week, the official Xinhua News Agency...

(CBS) QUEENS, New York — As far as his parents knew, 15-year-old Will Neibergall was an average teen noodling around on his Mac. Sure, he was on Facebook and Twitter and texting and all the usual social media of today’s teens. And they knew he was musically-inclined, fiddling with digital music programs — enough so that he was in a special arts and science program at McClintock High School in Tempe, Arizona. But when Will told his folks he’d been invited to perform in New York City by the Museum of Modern Art PS1, well … “It blew us away,” said Will’s father, Dave Neibergall. “We had no idea.” Flash forward a few weeks, and there was Will — or “Glass Popcorn,” his Internet art alias — rapping on top of a black Cadillac Escalade amid draq queens, lady body builders and one very bootylicious backup dancer. Glass Popcorn, it turns out, has achieved a following in certain artsy corners of the Web. “His music is so mature for a kid his age,” said Marco Roso, an editor at DIS Magazine, which organized the lineup for the MoMA PS1 performance. DIS editors were aware of Glass Popcorn from his Internet projects but not sure he was really a teen-ager. “We thought he might be an Internet name, not really a person,” said another DIS editor, Nick Scholl.
