Taylor Swift‘s recent return to streaming services — which may or may not have been a way to sabotage the release of a new album by her longtime foe Katy Perry — generated a staggering amount of money.
“霉霉”泰勒?斯威夫特所有歌曲重新上架流媒体音乐平台，这一举动被人怀疑是故意阻挠死敌“水果姐”凯蒂?佩里的新专，但肯定的是霉霉从中获得了巨大收益。
Swift’s fans were happy that their girl was back and they showed their appreciation by streaming the music an ungodly number of times, even by Swift’s high standards.霉粉们因霉霉回归流媒体平台激动不已，他们通过无数次播放霉霉的歌来表达感激之情，即使以霉霉的高标准来看，总播放量依旧让人瞠目结舌。According to Nielsen Music, Swift’s songs were streamed 51.5 million times in their first week back on streaming services that aren’t Apple Music.根据尼尔森音乐提供的数据，霉霉的歌重返流媒体第一周播放量就达到了5150万。That’s a 608% jump from the 7.3 million streams her songs generated in the previous week when they were Apple Music exclusives.相比回归前一周苹果音乐独家播放时730万次的播放量，增长了608%。Billboard estimates that the streaming revenue and other royalties from this surge netted $418,000 for Swift and her associates.
Billboard估计，此次流媒体播放和其他版权收入为霉霉及其合作方带来了净值41.8万美元的收益。While Swift holds that she was returning the music to streaming services to celebrate 1989 hitting 10 million album sales worldwide, the timing of the move is suspect.霉霉称此次回归流媒体平台是为了庆祝专辑《1989》全球销量突破1000万张，但时机却让人怀疑。The decision to return the music to all services came soon after Perry began speaking openly about the long-simmering feud between the two stars, allowing the subtext of songs like “Bad Blood” and “Swish Swish” to become text.水果姐刚公开谈论了二人由来已久的不和，霉霉便紧随其后，做出回归流媒体的决定，使得潜台词满满的“Bad Blood”和“Swish Swish”又成为了焦点。If it was a ploy by Swift, there’s no doubt that it’s working. Taylor’s catalog handily outstreamed Witness.如果这是霉霉的一步棋，无疑这步棋发挥了作用，霉霉歌曲的播放量轻而易举地超过了水果姐的新专《Witness》。
