This week it emerged that Apple Music's Siri-only voice plan is coming to iOS 15 in the .2 update that was released as a beta this week.
The subscription tier will let users play any song on Apple Music using only Siri, and you can even sign up for the service using Siri. From Apple:
Users can subscribe to the Apple Music Voice Plan through Siri by saying "Hey Siri, start my Apple Music Voice trial," or by signing up through the Apple Music app. Once subscribed to the Apple Music Voice Plan, users can request music be played across all of their Siri-enabled devices, including HomePod mini, AirPods, iPhone, or any other Apple device, and when using CarPlay.
Apple Music voice Plan will be available in 17 countries on launch including Australia, Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
