About the Apple Music Awards

Apple has designed a series of physics awards that represent the exquisite craftsmanship that is indispensable for creating music. Each award uses Apple's custom silicon wafer suspended between a polished glass sheet and a machined and anodized aluminum body. After months of processing and then cutting it into hundreds of individual chips, the results are amazing and unique. In a symbolic gesture, the same chips used in devices that make world music within reach are placed at the core of the Apple Music Awards.

The Apple Music Awards celebration will start on Monday, December 14, 2020, with a week of special performances, fan activities, interviews, etc. streaming on Apple Music, Apple Music TV and Apple TV apps.

Taylor Swift (Taylor Swift) is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding and decorated songwriters in the music industry, and "Folklore" is no exception.
