Taylor Swift returns to Spotify after nearly three-year boycott

Adjust Comment Print

Taylor Swift has released her entire music catalogue on streaming services to celebrate her latest album, 1989, selling over 10 million copies worldwide.

Reacting to Swift's bold move, one commented: "Katy had it coming when she kept mentioning Taylor in every interview".

While celebration of "1989" was mentioned as a reason for the 27-year-old singer streaming her songs on all platforms again, it also comes at a time when rival Katy Perry, 32, is promoting her new album, "Witness".

It's thought the Taylor Swift song Bad Blood and the Katy Perry track Swish Swish, are both about the feud. They will include the Grammy-winning "1989", according to a statement from Taylor Nation, her official Instagram fan account.

When she left Spotify in 2014, later favouring Tidal and Apple Music, Swift defender her decision by complaining that streaming services like Spotify didn't compensate artists fairly. What this means is that if you're a Spotify user or if you use any other music streaming service, you should now be able to access the artist's entire catalog of music, assuming that's what you want.

The superstar singer-songwriter has not yet announced a follow-up album, though it's been rumored that she's been recording in Nashville.

If you thought Taylor would never, ever, ever get back together with streaming services, you were just proven wrong.

But music experts believe there is something more to Swift's return to these streaming platforms other than gratitude for fans.

While doing "Carpool Karaoke" with Late Late Show host James Corden, Perry basically confirmed what Swift told Rolling Stone but in her version.

Yeesh. It looks like the bad blood between these two isn't clearing up any time soon.

Perry has spoken out about the tension with her former friend.

"She wouldn't speak to me", she said. Especially when someone tries to assassinate my character with little girls [her fans].
