Taylor Swift’s Swifties are requesting she also removed her music from Spotify in solidarity with other artists.
Neil Young followed by Joni Mitchell and more demanded their music be removed from the streaming platform, due to Joe Rogan’s podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” spreading misinformation about vaccines.
Spotify has decided to kept Rogan’s show so far. Though, the calls to rid the platform of the podcast continues to grow, Newsweek reports.
Journalist Carlos Maza tweeted, “The way Taylor Swift could end Joe Rogan with a single tweet at Spotify... what is the hold up,” hoping the pop star joins the list of celebrities protesting Spotify’s support of Rogan’s podcast.
Many of the artist’s fans agree with the critics. One fan tweeted, “Taylor Swift is the 9th most streamed artist in Spotify history — behind Drake, Ed Sheeran, Bad Bunny, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Post Malone & Eminem. Among the entire top 10, she was the ONLY one who removed her music from the platform (2014–2017; her peak era).”
This wouldn’t be the first time Swift removed her catalog from Spotify. In 2014, she removed her catalog due to her belief music should not be free. She wrote an op-ed about it for The Wall Street Journal.
“It’s my opinion that music should not be free and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will some day decide what an album’s price point is,” she wrote.
