Taylor Swift earns 8 billion after two weeks of re-releasing music

Even when Taylor Swift proactively cut off all cooperation, both "giants" Spotify and Pandora still had to give in to the absolute appeal of the superstar singer.

To celebrate 1989's 10 million sales milestone and RIAA certification of 100 million units, Taylor Swift has brought all of her music back to streaming sites like Spotify and Pandora.

This is completely contrary to the singer's views three years ago, when she believed that these services seriously violated the artists' achievements.

Taylor Swift caused a stir on Katy Perry's comeback day.

However, a seasoned music business expert like Taylor Swift obviously wouldn't do anything without a purpose. The proof is that recently, the New Music Express website revealed that the amount of money she received after two weeks of "relaxing" her music was approximately 400,000 USD, equivalent to 8 billion VND.

Americans streamed Taylor Swift's music 4.75 million times in half a month, helping the singer earn $285,000 from streaming services and $60,000 from licensing deals.

Thus, even though Taylor Swift proactively cut off all cooperation, the two "giants" of the digital music industry, Spotify and Pandora, still had to succumb to the absolute appeal of the singer of "I Knew You Were Trouble".

In addition, all four of the female singer's albums, including 1989 (position 31), Red (position 88), Fearless (position 119) and Speak Now (position 133), also returned to the Billboard 200 last week.

However, most public opinion has a negative view on Taylor Swift's move, as the day she announced the good news was also the day Katy Perry released the album Witness.

Because whether intentionally or unintentionally, Taylor Swift created a fierce media competition with Katy Perry at the same time, giving the public the opportunity to relive the discord between the two female singers from three years ago.

But luckily, Katy Perry still retained the top spot on the Billboard 200 and became the second female artist in 2017 to hold this position.

However, some rumors in the hallway say that Taylor Swift is also planning to return in August. If this is true, the battle between her and Katy Perry will certainly be more intense then, because Witness is still in the promotion process.
