Taylor Swift Calls Spotify a Liar

Taylor Swift's decision to pull all her songs off Spotify caused major controversy, and now her people are calling out the founder of the music streaming service, Daniel Ek. After he wrote a post claiming that the "Shake It Off" singer would have gained about $6 million if she kept her songs on the site, David Borchetta says they haven't received nearly as much.

The Big Machine record label exec said that she only got $500,000 from the site.

Maybe this explains why Taylor totally slammed Spotify when justifying her decision? She recently told Time again that she doesn't think it's a good model.

"I think that people should feel that there is a value to what musicians have created, and that’s that," she said.
