Hey there erinchustz,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand your Apple Music library did not appear after signing into your account on your iPhone 8. I’ll be happy to help with this.


Go to Settings > Music and make sure Show Apple Music and Sync Library are enabled. 


If those are enabled, turn them off, restart your iPhone and turn them back on. This may also removes any music you’ve downloaded, just to let you know.


Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Turn both Show Apple Music and Sync Library back on and see if your data appears.


Let me know if this helps.
