Oh, absolutely. This is freebie PR for everyone involved.

What I meant to imply is that the PR is only valuable because it is a musician with the brand value (and public presence) of Taylor Swift.

And, what I mean by that is that if smaller brand musicians complained (as I think would have been inevitable) nothing would change until a larger brand also complained (which would also have been inevitable).

It seems like you're assuming this was reactive?

Seems far more likely that this exchange was orchestrated between Apple and TS.
