Her latest album 1989 is predicted to sell 1.2 million copies for its first week, but Taylor Swift is feeling a little slighted all the same.
The ?Out of the Woods? songstress reportedly pulled her music off of the Spotify streaming service where up until now her fans could listen to all of her songs for free.
Spotify responded with a note on their website- ?We love Taylor Swift, and our more than 40 million users love her even more ? nearly 16 million of them have played her songs in the last 30 days, and she?s on over 19 million playlists.?
?We hope she?ll change her mind and join us in building a new music economy that works for everyone. We believe fans should be able to listen to music wherever and whenever they want, and that artists have an absolute right to be paid for their work and protected from piracy. That?s why we pay nearly 70% of our revenue back to the music community.?
They added, ?PS ? Taylor, we were both young when we first saw you, but now there?s more than 40 million of us who want you to stay, stay, stay. It?s a love story, baby, just say, Yes.?
Additionally, there are several new playlists that have messages to Swifty contained within the song titles- ?Hey Taylor, we wanted to play your amazing love songs and they?re not here right now. We want you back with us and so do your fans.?

Taylor Swift was a ?pegacorn? for Halloween. No, it?s not a sex thing (but it sounds like it, right?). Swifty is a Pegasus + unicorn = pegacorn. She wanted to be a unicorn with wings. It?s sort of cute. I?m glad she didn?t go for a Sexy Maid/Nurse/Whatever. I?d much rather see women dressed up as pegacorns rather than sexy whatevers.
Anyway, Taylor had a really amazing week. Her album, 1989, dropped and it became the first and only platinum-album debut of the year. This is actually a two-fer: the last time an artist went platinum in their first week was 2012, when Taylor released Red. Taylor?s label, Republic Records, threw her a ?private party? in Soho last Thursday to celebrate. There were gormet white truffle burgers and a cake shaped like a Polaroid camera.
Vulture also had a great analysis on Taylor Swift?s earnings, real estate, album sales and tour grosses ? go here to read. By their analysis, Swifty is probably sitting on just shy of $200 million after taxes. My guess? It?s probably a lot more than that. Taylor tops nearly every list of the top-grossing tours, albums, etc. Anyway? it?s good to be Tay-Tay. It?s profitable to be twee.
Last thing ? Taylor was on Ryan Seacrest?s radio show and she danced and lip-sync?d to Iggy Azalea. It was brilliantly awkward, hilariously dorky and everything in between. This is the kind of thing where I go? ?Okay, maybe she might be sort of fun as a friend.?

I don’t tend to watch much TV in the morning unless it involves cartoon characters or I passed out on the couch, so I can’t say that I caught Taylor Swift performing on Good Morning America. But after seeing these pictures of the sweet leg show she put on, it kind of makes me wish […]

Casting doubt on the notion that she actually sleeps, Taylor Swift was up bright and early today (October 31) for even more media duties.
The ?I Knew You Were Trouble? songstress put on her Halloween costume and headed over to The Elvis Duran Z100 Morning Show in New York City.
Worried that her fans wouldn?t be able to identify her getup, Taylor posted a photo to Instagram along with the caption, ?Cause, darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a PEGACORN. #HappyHalloween!?
Swifty has been plugging her new album 1989 all week and according to Billboard, it?s working. She?s projected to sell more than 1.2 million copies in the first seven days.

She loves giving back to her fans, and on Thursday (October 30) Taylor Swift performed a selection of hits from her new album 1989 in Times Square.
And during her ?Good Morning America? concert, the ?Out of the Woods? songstress told the crowd that she?ll be hitting the road in the not-too-distant future.
Taylor teased, "I am gonna be going out on tour very soon! We're in the early stages of planning the actual show. I'm excited about announcing things when I can announce them, but it's going to be happening!"
Swift also gave props to her fans for singing along to songs that have only recently been released- "You guys are so fast at learning lyrics! I'm having the best week of my life, thanks to you."

Stepping out for an evening of sport, Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss showed up at Madison Square Garden to watch the New York Knicks take on the Chicago Bulls last night (October 29).
The ?Welcome to New York? songstress and her Chicago-born supermodel gal pal had a blast cheering the home team while sitting next to Ben Stiller and his son Quinlin.
And after the game, which the Knicks lost, Taylor took to her Instagram account to remind her fans of a very special performance slated for this morning (October 30).
Swifty wrote, ?Karlie and I had the time of our lives at the Knicks game tonight. See you tomorrow bright and early on Good Morning America!?

Here is Taylor Swift wearing two different statement making outfits for her appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in New York City.
Taylor told David that she is choosing to stay single at the moment, and hasn?t ?had any lousy boyfriends in the last year and a half.? Does that mean she?s calling her last boyfriend, Harry Styles, lousy? She doesn?t say those exact words, but by saying she hasn?t had a ?lousy? boyfriend in the last year and a half indicates that the guy she was dating before then was ?lousy.?

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that Taylor Swift just became New York’s newest “Tourism Ambassador,” which doesn’t make a ton of sense to me, but I guess is still a lot better than their last one: a homeless guy peeing onto the subway tracks. Anyway, here she is heading into the Late Show with […]

With the endurance of a marathon runner, Taylor Swift made yet another media appearance at ?The Late Show with David Letterman? on Tuesday night (October 28).
The ?I Knew You Were Trouble? songstress was stunning in a white top/black skirt combo as she greeted fans outside of Manhattan?s Ed Sullivan Theater.
During her interview, Taylor talked about becoming pals with Lena Dunham via Twitter- ?I googled her and I saw her quoting my lyrics and I thought, she has to be doing that ironically, she has to be making fun of me?I have this big looser complex from school.?
?[But I realized she] likes my music and it wasn?t ironic at all. Then we met in person?and we've been best friends ever since.?
Additionally, Swift addressed the naysayers who have criticized her new role as official ambassador for the City of New York- ?I don't get any money for that, but I have a song called Welcome to New York and I recently moved here. When I love something I am very vocal about it? I love it with like 18 exclamation marks underneath it, and underlined. I'm like the most obnoxious person to ever loudly love New York and I think they picked up on that.?
Taylor?s 1989 album sold 600,000 copies in its first 24 hours and is on track to moving one million units before the week is up. That would make her the only singer to have three million-selling albums in a row!

Real question for all the tall girls: why would you ever feel the need to wear a platform heel? I?m not judging tall girls for wears heels, mind you, but I?m side-eyeing Taylor Swift?s platform heels, which must make her well over six feet tall. She probably towered over everybody at Good Morning America yesterday. Anyway, you know how Swifty has a new album? Like you could avoid it. She?s completely oversaturated the media promoting this thing, but maybe that?s smart. I don?t know. Well, on her album, there?s a song called ?Welcome to New York,? all about how Swifty is now a New Yorker and she struts around Manhattan in high heels, carrying her cats. That?s Swifty?s version of New York. And now the song has made her the ?Global Welcome Ambassador for the Big Apple.?
Taylor Swift may have only welcomed herself to New York in March, but she?s already explaining city to the world. The mega music star has been named the ?Global Welcome Ambassador for the Big Apple? ? and has made a series of tourism videos in which she gushes about things such as: how she just realized that New Yorkers are friendly and what a bodega is.
?I?m still learning, but I?m so enthusiastic about this city that when I love something, I?m very vocal about it,? Swift said on ABC?s ?Good Morning America? Monday morning, when she announced her new role. In the tourist videos, made in conjunction with NYC & Company, the city?s official marketing and tourism organization, Swift gushes about the city she?s lived in for about five minutes.
She advises people to ?carve out your own New York? ? something that?s easy to do when you can afford a $20 million home like the one she bought In Tribeca in March.
?People kind of pick out their favorite little neighborhoods and get to know people around those neighborhoods,? she observes.
She also give New Yorkers credit for having manners.
?People talk about Southern hospitality, and that?s a real thing, but there?s also a really interesting hospitality about New York too,? Swift says.
The Pennsylvania native then gives lessons on how to talk like a real New Yorker.
?A bodega is a corner store that?s open pretty much 24 hours most of the time,? she explains in one clip as she sits on the roof of a Manhattan apartment. ?You can get almost anything in a bodega. Bodegas are our friends.?
Stoops, according to Swift, are similar to what most people call porches, ?but not in New York? Anything that is basically a stairway entry into a dwelling, home, apartment, brownstone or townhouse is referred to as a stoop,? she explains.
Swift ? who is known for her many romances ? said she quickly fell for the city, similar to her quick dive into love with former flings. The campaign also comes in conjunctive with her latest album, ?1989,? which has a song called ?Welcome to New York? which is used in the background for the clips.

Is this silly? Of course it is. It?s silly at every level. I can see why people are mad because Taylor is being used to literally white-wash a very diverse city, rich in culture and history, with amazingly diverse populations and enclaves and languages. This is part of the Disneyification of Manhattan too, the attempt to turn Manhattan into some kind of theme park. Who better than Taylor Swift, who is basically Bambi come to life? But still? it?s just a silly tourism campaign and Swifty?s just promoting her album. Is this really a big deal?
