Taylor Swift pulls music from Spotify: She can do whatever she wants.

I remember when they broke up the first time. “We hope she’ll change her mind and join us in building a new music economy that works for everyone,” the company wrote. In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal this summer, the 24-year-old asserted that “the value of an album is, and will continue to be, based on the amount of heart and soul an artist has bled into the work, and the financial value that artists place on their music when it goes out into the marketplace.” She did not have particularly kind words for streaming services, counting them among the things that “have shrunk the numbers of paid album sales drastically.” “In recent years, you’ve probably read the articles about major recording artists who have decided to practically give their music away, for this promotion or that exclusive deal,” Swift continued. “My hope for the future, not just in the music industry, but in every young girl I meet … is that they all realize their worth and ask for it.” It’s unclear if asking for your worth will ever work for artists without Swift’s fame and negotiating clout. At last count, 1989 is on track to sell more than 1.3 million copies in its first week and maybe even eclipse the one-week sales record of 1.319 million copies set by Britney Spears’ Oops!
