Billboard.com, 6/8/2017: "In celebration of (her album) 1989 selling over 10 Million Albums Worldwide and the RIAA's 100 Million Song Certification announcement, Taylor wants to thank her fans by making her entire back catalog available to all streaming services..."

Billboard.com, 6/9/2017: Swift’s camp has been in ongoing talks to put her music back on Spotify since she pulled it three years ago – prompted by Spotify’s refusal to let her keep her tunes off of its free tier.

Male cattle droppings -- contrary to the insinuations of her public statement, the trigger was pulled for her.
Spotify went over Taylor's head and cut the deal on behalf of everyone on her record label -- she was going into streaming no matter what.

So much for her pioneering artistic integrity.
