Taylor Swift's decision to remove her music this week from Spotify is a "big fist in the air" that other prominent artists are sure to follow, says her longtime record label president.
In the week she sold 1.3 million copies of her new album 1989,
Swift abruptly pulled her single "Shake It Off" and all of her
previously released music from the streaming service, frustrating its 40
million users.
