Taylor Swift is on such good terms with former enemy Apple that she's willing to fall off a treadmill and land in her face toshill for the company's music service.

Apple Music's new ad, which went online Friday,opens withSwift getting ready for a cardio workout while sporting aperfectly coifed bob and flawless makeup.

She opens an Apple Musicworkout playliston her iPhoneand startsrunning on the treadmill,crooning along to Jumpman by Drake and Future.

Then, in a classic bit ofself-effacing physical comedy, Swift gets so into the song she flies off the treadmill and lands flat on her face. Then she keeps on singing.

The tagline reads: "Distractinglygood."

On Twitter, the pop star suggested the video was "based on true events."

This playful promotion for Applemarks a stark contrast from last year, when Swift waged war on the tech giant, accusing it of shortchanging artists with its Apple Musicfree trialand vowing to keep her music off the streaming service.

"I'm not sure you know that Apple Music will not be paying writers, producers, or artists for those three months. I find it to be shocking, disappointing, and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous company," she wrote in a blog post at the time.

Swift's strong stance prompted Apple to announce thevery next day thatit would pay artists during its trial run. Soon after,she gaveApple Music exclusive rightsto stream her album 1989.

Apple Music won over another high-profilenaysayer on Friday with the announcement that Kanye West's The Life of Pablo isavailable on the service.Just last month, the rapper had tweeted he would never release hisnew album on Apple.
