\"\"When you\u2019re Taylor Swift, you don\u2019t need to do much to make a ton of money.<\/p>\n

Even without releasing any new music, the\u201dBad Blood\u201d singer generated a six-figure revenue just by letting streaming platforms like Spotify, Pandora, Tidal, and Amazon have access to her discography once again.<\/p>\n

According to Billboard, Tay\u2019s songs were streamed 47.5 million times in their first week, generating roughly $285,000 in revenue based on an average blended per-stream audio-on-demand rate of $0.006. Meanwhile, more than $59,000 of the revenue made from the publishing royalties will be divided among Swift and her co-writers.<\/p>\n

In total, approximately $397,000 was made by allowing the 27-year-old\u2019s first five studio albums to be played on streaming services since June 8. (The albums have only been available on the subscription-only Apple Music since 2014.)<\/p>\n

Though Taylor \u2014 who withheld 1989 from Spotify at the time of its release \u2014 claimed her change of heart came as to celebrate the record selling over 10 million copies, many fans thought it was an subtle attempt to steal nemesis Katy Perry\u2019s thunder on the day of her new album\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

Now that the numbers have come in, it\u2019s safe to say being petty pays.<\/p><\/div>\n
