The singer allowed her entire catalog of work to stream on Spotify, Pandora, Tidal, and Amazon starting this month, and it seems to have paid off for her—very literally. According to Billboard, Swift has brought home almost $400,000 after only a single week of her songs streaming. Her reps posted a note to her Taylor Nation Instagram revealing the reason behind her decision to allow her music to be streamed.
