Taylor Swift wants no part of the music streaming 'experiment'
Just days ago, Taylor Swift shook off Spotify. The star opted not to leave her new album off of the service and pulled the rest of her catalog. Lucky for us, Yahoo caught up with the globe-trotting star during a promotional tour in Japan for more insight on the matter. As you might expect, she echoed the sentiment shared by some of her fellow musicians: streaming services don't adequately compensate artists and the rest of the folks who have a hand in making albums. What's more, Swift goes on to call Spotify and similar offerings "experiments," and she isn't "willing to contribute my life's work" to those outfits that don't properly pay up. Spotify, for example, has been around since 2008, so we're a bit beyond the honeymoon phase. Subscription-based and ad-supported music streaming has taken root in our lives, and it's not leaving anytime soon unless there's some kind of drastic change.
