Overview

• Haaretz and other outlets report that Israeli Apple Music users could not access Lorde’s catalog as of Friday.
• Apple has not confirmed who initiated the removal or whether it was done by the company, the artist, or another party.
• Her songs remained available to Spotify listeners in Israel at the time of reporting.
• The development follows a Madison Square Garden show where she shouted “Free f—ing Palestine” and used stage lighting in Palestinian colors.
• Lorde’s move comes as artists linked to the same campaign, including Björk, have recently had catalogs limited in Israel.
