NEW YORK (BLOOMBERG) - Fresh off of her victory against Apple Inc., Taylor Swift is taking on an even more ambitious challenge: conquering China.

The singer is teaming up with JD.com Inc., the second- largest e-commerce company in China, to sell a new fashion line designed specifically for Chinese shoppers. Dresses, sweatshirts and other tops will be available in August on the website, ahead of Swift's 1989 tour visit to Shanghai in November.

JD is looking to Swift to help expand deeper into clothing, where it is chasing China's No. 1 e-commerce company, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. As part of the push, JD is wooing American brands by eschewing the knockoff merchandise that is common in some Chinese marketplaces.

Swift, a seven-time Grammy Award winner, showed her clout in the music industry last month when she confronted Apple and won. She persuaded the technology giant to pay royalties to artists during a three-month trial period of a new music service, a reversal of its earlier policy.

She previously took a stand against Apple's streaming competitor, Spotify Inc., which she felt was not paying artists enough in royalties.
