Coca-Cola has signed country music star Taylor Swift to promote Diet Coke, per sources close to the situation.
The move comes on the heels of Pepsi penning a $50 million deal with Beyoncé Knowles six weeks ago and largely underscores an ongoing battle for the youth/music market between the soda industry's two titans. For instance, Coke recently invested $10 million in the digital music service Spotify.
