Pandora co-founder: Taylor Swift's Apple fight 'mostly theater'

[Redstreak 6,653]

Spotify pays up as well. And $1,000 for 1 million for an artist like Taylor is nothing. 

Did you not see that guy tweeting after Taylor's letter that he got $1.61 from 2 million streams?  

[CannaeDrive 3,412]

Yeah we kindda knew that was theater, AKA media hook.

[LePetitGAGABLover 21,234]

where have you been during this whole taylor vs spotify thing? That's the whole issue, they don't

No. They did pay her, but not enough

it's 1,000 it's actually around 5,000. And that's a huge sum for struggling artists

[ARTPOPdidntflop 3,987]

No. They did pay her, but not enough

this isn't about her this is about artists who are struggling to break through and aren't getting their fair share

Mess at me thinking it was the founder of the jewellery store coming after streaming services .

Read it in Jo Calderone's voice tbh, Italian accent and all. "SHE'S THEATAAAHH."

On Spotify? And idk what letter you're talking about.

I'll believe that Tay is a "greedy b" the day that she makes a press conference or speaks about this "issue" with streaming services on The Grammys, MTV Awards, etc.

I believe this is mostly her team or her label wanting more and more album sales. But, oh well. This comes from someone who loves T, so

tell em the true ...

OMG 

[Chic 20,830]

YASSS.  "I gotta get in theahhh."

Haha, YAS! Italian accents, yo. Growing up in Bayside, you have that **** all your life.

[GagaMyBlood95 9,915]

Well duh, maybe this was really an agreement between Apple and Taylor, who knows..

Anyway, Apple will obviously win, they simply have the bigger game, the bigger name and the bigger platform.

[Haroon 49,685]

Well yeah I do agree that the paying for the 3 months isn't as big of a break through as it's made out to be   

Mess at me thinking it was the founder of the jewellery store coming after streaming services .

LOOOOOOOL SAME  I thought they were secretly upset because Taylor refused to give them promo by not wearing their jewellery or something

per usual, fans here applying stan logic to his arguments and bringing in his job, "irrelevant" streaming service and cred to devalue his opinion as opposed to debating soundly about it. he's right in ways, t-swift has done no justice for music and yet she gets praised for it.
