Taylor Swift Fans Couldn’t Watch Her Receive Time Icon Honor After UMG, WMG Issued YouTube Takedowns

The Time Magazine 100 honors the most influential people in the world with BTS, Ozuna, Khalid, and Ariana Grande among the musicians selected. Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga were honored as "icons" for 2019, with Swift set to perform.

Tine Magazine livestreamed the Summit yesterday via YouTube, or at least tried to. 

Both UMG and WMG blocked the broadcast without explanation. 

YouTube has blocked (!!!) Time's official video feed for its 100 Summit from yesterday because it apparently infringed on content from Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group. CC @mmasnick pic.twitter.com/peWsHPxYPH
