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-unit 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 savvy music business expert like Taylor Swift obviously wouldn't do anything without a purpose. As evidence, the New Music Express website recently 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 activities.

Thus, even though Taylor Swift proactively cut off all cooperation, both digital music giants Spotify and Pandora still had to succumb to the absolute appeal of the singer 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 review the discord between the two female singers from three years ago.

But fortunately, Katy Perry still holds the top spot on the Billboard 200 and becomes the second female artist in 2017 to hold this position.

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