Taylor Swift is making history again. Since he announced the recovery of the rights of his first six albums, the reproductions of his music in Spotify have shot themselves, rather than duplicating in just a few days. The artist, who has been a pioneer in the struggle for the rights of musicians, has consolidated her victory with the mass support of her fans worldwide.
According to data shared by Spotify with media such as The Hollywood Reporter, on Friday, May 30 marked a turning point for Swift’s musical catalog.
The most impressive increase was for andThe Speak Now album (2010), Qthat recorded a growth of 430% in reproductions. Even albums that have not yet been reissued as “Taylor’s version”; As Taylor Swift (2006) and Reputation (2017), they had increases of 220% and 175%, respectively.
In contrast, Fearless (2008) and Red (2012), which already have their re -recorded version, showed less variation; which suggests that fans had already migrated for a long time to those versions.
Taylor Swift takes over its albums and streaming
This increase in reproductions has also been interpreted as a sample of fidelity of “swifties”; Those who avoid listening to the original versions for not financially benefiting Scooter Braun, the businessman who originally bought the masters without Swift’s consent.
Now, with the total control of their albums, royalties for streaming and sales go directly to the singer and original collaborators of their albums. This gesture marks a new chapter in the music industry, with Taylor as a symbol of artistic autonomy and creative empowerment.
