On Taylor Swift’s Decision To Remove Her Music from Spotify
We love Taylor Swift, and our more than 40 million users love her even more – nearly 16 million of them have played her songs in the last 30 days, and she’s on over 19 million playlists.
We hope she’ll change her mind and join us in building a new music economy that works for everyone. We believe fans should be able to listen to music wherever and whenever they want, and that artists have an absolute right to be paid for their work and protected from piracy. That’s why we pay nearly 70% of our revenue back to the music community.
I was literally just about to post this, but I couldn't find a story.
It's CRAZY, but I know she is doing it because she is the sole songwriter on so many of her songs and she wants the most money possible and Spotify isn't giving songwriters enough.
Have no idea why she would do this considering she's already worth millions and is getting even more millions from this record, plus tour money is coming up. Spotify money is extra change. Doesn't add up to me.
I can understand not having 1989 up there, but is it really that big of a deal to have her other music on there?
