Taylor Swift's lyrics in the song "I Hate It Here" have people talking, but they're also streaming, as her latest album breaks Spotify records.
Spotify has apparently found a new way to push its free users to a paid subscription: It's putting lyrics behind a paywall. Instead, the company told TechCrunch simply that Spotify's features can vary over time, between markets and across devices. The response indicates the change to lyrics may be more than just a test but that Spotify isn't yet prepared to make an official announcement about affected markets.
Spotify's slow movement to put lyrics behind its paid service wall in its music service are about as popular as you would expect. Precise details of the update are evolving but what we can say at this point is that it seems that Spotify has a new feature up its sleeve to try and get free users to convert to is paid service. Sure, it's a little weird that Spotify is going to start putting information that is freely available online behind a paid wall, but the company is in a slightly difficult position today.
While Swift's label, Universal Music Group, continues to battle TikTok, the pop star made her own deal with the platform ahead of her newest album drop.
