Taylor Swift has hit back at a photographer who accused her of hypocrisy following her criticism of Apple's latest music streaming service.
The American singer-songwriter said Jason Sheldon had "misrepresented" her photography agreement when he branded her "guilty of the very same tactic" as the technology giant.
Swift said in a strongly-worded online statement that it was "shocking and disappointing" that Apple had decided not to pay for songs streamed during a three-month trial period of Apple Music.
But Mr Sheldon challenged the Shake It Off star's photo policy, which he said gives her "free and unlimited use of our work, worldwide, in perpetuity".
A UK spokeswoman for Swift responded by saying: "The standard photography agreement has been misrepresented in that it clearly states that any photographer shooting The 1989 World Tour has the opportunity for further use of said photographs with management's approval.
"Another distinct misrepresentation is the claim that the copyright of the photographs will be with anyone other than the photographer - this agreement does not transfer copyright away from the photographer. Every artist has the right to and should protect the use of their name and likeness."
Apple have since made a U-turn on their policy of not paying for songs in the trial period.
