Taylor Swift, it seems, has apparently shaken off her reservations about subscription music services.

You'll soon be able to listen to Taylor Swift's '1989' on Spotify
To celebrate some big sales milestones, the pop diva is opening her back catalog to streaming music services
All of the pop star's older songs and albums will be available through Spotify and similar services starting at midnight Friday, Swift's management team announced Thursday via its official Twitter account.
Swift made the move to celebrate the fact that she'd sold 10 million copies of her "1989" album and had reached 100 million in song sales, according to the tweet.
"Taylor wants to thank her fans by making her entire back catalog available," her management team said in the tweet.

It was unclear from the tweet what time zone Swift's management meant when it said her catalog would be available at "midnight." But a spokesperson for Amazon said the pop diva's "1989" album will be available on its Amazon Music Unlimited and Prime Music services starting at 9 p.m. PT Thursday, which would be midnight ET Friday. Amazon's services already offered five of Swift's older albums.
Swift pulled her music from Spotify and other streaming services in late 2014 in a dispute over how much she was being paid when her songs were played. Spotify made a "come back" playlist for Swift right after she left the service.
Despite her stance toward Spotify, Swift's albums have been available through Apple Music since it launched.
