If you like Taylor Swift and art of listening again and again their songs on Spotify, I have bad news for you: the singer has now withdrawn his entire discography of this popular streaming platform. If you search for his name, you will get zero results. And if you had your music in a playlist, it will be gone suddenly.
While Swift has not yet ruled on the matter (neither has his record) from the official Spotify blog heaped original including a nifty bounce playlist and a plea to return. Not for less: say more than 16 million users have played their songs in the last month. But leaving numbers and jokes aside, Spotify are certainly very concerned. Or should be. The reasons for the withdrawal of Taylor Swift can be many.
Some say it has to do with the fact that his new album, 1989, was released just a few days ago (not on Spotify, eye) and wants to seize on to sell more records or that people resort to other platforms streaming. Interestingly, and in time, his discography is still online on Rdio. From Billboard point to another possible reason: selling the record in which is Swift, though other artists of the same are still available in the popular platform. However, there may be another reason that adds to all these: Taylor Swift has always been critical to these platforms.
That was made clear in an article published in the Wall Street Journal last summer. It claimed that due to piracy and streaming, fewer records sold. So Swift did not publish their new albums on Spotify until well after a while.
