Taylor Swift, Spotify Feud Gets Nasty: CEO Says She'd Earn $6M From Streaming!

By Larry Abuliak | Nov 12, 2014 12:28 PM EST

Taylor Swift, Harry Styles's ex, is the biggest music star in the world, but she opened a can of worms when she decided to take her music off the free streaming site Spotify. According to Chief Executive Officer Daniel Ek, the "Shake It Off" singer would've received millions of dollars by having her music on the site and that the notion that she would've given her music away for free is not true. "At our current size, payouts for a top artist like Taylor Swift — before she pulled her catalog — are on track to exceed $6 million a year, and that's only growing — we expect that number to double again in a year," he wrote on the Spotify website. "Any way you cut it, one thing is clear: We're paying an enormous amount of money to labels and publishers for distribution to artists and songwriters, and significantly more than any other streaming service."

Taylor Swift Talks Being Single After One Direction's Harry Styles Breakup

By Larry Abuliak | Nov 11, 2014 04:37 PM EST

Taylor Swift has been on a nonstop publicity tour promoting her new album "1989," but when you think the "Shake It Off" singer has done it all, she surprises her fans with a new look. On the cover of the new issue of "Wonderland Magazine," Taylor's almost unrecognizable with slick-back hair, understated makeup and a plain white BOSS sweater. In the mag, she gives her opinion on social media and how it has affected not only celebrities, but society in general. "Twitter's dark underbelly is that it gives people a veil of anonymity: they can have a terrible day at work, feel awful about themselves, come home and get drunk and go call someone ugly on Instagram," she said. "If people don't have anyone to talk to about [their problems], they go online and just say wicked, gross, cruel, mean-spirited things about people. I wrote 'Shake It Off' for my own situation, but also for the situation that everyone finds themselves in now. It's not a celebrity issue, it's a people issue." The music superstar is also content with where her life is right now, especially not being in a relationship after failed romances with One Direction's Harry Styles, Taylor Lautner, Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer. "I've been with myself for so long now, I like it. I'm not willing to give up that independence for anyone," according to the mag. "Basically, there's the tiniest, tiniest, tiniest chance you might find someone you can have a real and long-lasting relationship with. In my teenage years, I was enamored by the idea of romance because I thought it was going to be this 'happily ever after' situation." Read More »
