Taylor Swift leaves Spotify

Taylor Swift just had to “Shake it Off” when it came to Spotify’s streaming service.

Spotify announced Monday that all music from the singer was no longer on the site.

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.

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.

Spotify posted a playlist to woo the singer to return.

And here’s what to play while Taylor’s away.
