On November 3, Taylor Swift removed all of her music off of the Spotify application. It was not the first time Swift showed her apparent dislike of streaming — her most recent album, 1989, never got released to any streaming services and her 2012 album Red, could not be streamed until months after its release.

According to Taylor Swift’s editorial in the Wall Street Journal, she described how music is an art that is important and rare and rare things are valuable and should be paid for.

“I’m ok with it [Swift’s removal from Spotify] because I’m a big fan and would buy her music anyway. She is making it and Taylor deserves to be paid for it,” sophomore Isabel Jarmel said.

Since Swift’s removal from Spotify, the service has reached out to her in hopes that she will change her mind. Spotify has created playlists and released a statement aimed towards her in attempt to convince her to rejoin their service. The playlists have titles such as “Come back, Taylor!” and “What To Play While Taylor’s Away.” According to Spotify.com, around 16 out of the 40 million Spotify users have played her songs in the last 30 days, along with 19 million playlists sporting Swift’s songs.

“Now, much of the radio consists of her music, but I still think that since her music is gone from Spotify, her popularity is going to go down,” sophomore Nikolai Soroko said.

Taylor Swift does not seem to be the only person who wanted to drift from Spotify. According to Time.com, Jason Aldean pulled his most recent album from the service. Earlier in 2013. Radiohead’s lead singer Thom Yorke also removed his singles off Spotify as an act of protest to the size of its payouts.

Garth Brooks, a country star, recently launched a website called GhostTunes, a site where the user must buy the desired music before listening to it. Taylor Swift and a variety of other artists have chosen to put their music on Brooks’ website as another source of streaming and income.

Swift still remains with other music streaming applications such as Google Play, iTunes, Pandora, Beats and Rdio.
