Swift announced the news via her official “Taylor Nation” social media accounts, where she explained that the move back to streaming services was “in celebration of _1989_ selling over 10 Million Albums Worldwide and the RIAA’s 100 Million Song Certification announcement, Taylor wants to thank her fans by making her entire back catalog available to all streaming services tonight at midnight.” > [](https://twitter.com/taylornation13/status/872958066119016448) While many fans were excited about being able to listen to Swift on Spotify again, the Internet was quick to note that her return to streaming coincided exactly with [Katy Perry’s release date for her new album, _Witness_](http://time.com/4784928/katy-perry-prank/), fueling rumors that there might still be some [“bad blood”](http://time.com/4680749/best-celebrity-feuds/) between the two. Perry, of late, hasn’t been shy about the strained dynamic between the two pop princesses, going so far as to [call out Swift for the feud during an episode of Carpool Karaoke](http://time.com/4790154/katy-perry-taylor-swift-feud-carpool-karaoke/) and [in subsequent media appearances and interviews](http://time.com/4810732/katy-perry-on-taylor-swift-beef-interview/). Fans have also long speculated that [Perry’s single “Swish Swish” is a diss track](http://time.com/4785868/ruby-rose-on-katy-perry-swish-swish/) in the vein of “Bad Blood” aimed at Swift. While there’s no way of truly knowing if Swift’s return to streaming on the same day as Perry’s album release is intentional or just coincidental, the Internet had plenty of feelings that they made known online. > [](https://twitter.com/willygalvan/status/872975144368709632) > [](https://twitter.com/MikeIsSick13/status/872961398468354048) > [](https://twitter.com/KarlPalenkas/status/872982834411077632) > [](https://twitter.com/tabembruno/status/872969369059569664) > [](https://twitter.com/GerrickKennedy/status/872966933313855488) > [](https://twitter.com/roIIingdice/status/872968187880636416) Online personality Tyler Oakley preferred to find a way to neutralize the situation. > [](https://twitter.com/tyleroakley/status/872970448853622785) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4812588/taylor-swift-streaming-katy-perry-memes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4812588/taylor-swift-streaming-katy-perry-memes/"},"headline":"The Internet Has Memes About Taylor Swift's Streaming Return on Katy Perry's Album Release Day","datePublished":"2017-06-09T15:42:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:21.755Z","description":"The Internet has a lot of feeling about Taylor Swift returning to streaming services on the same day as Katy Perry's album release.","url":"https://time.com/4812588/taylor-swift-streaming-katy-perry-memes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Music","viral","Katy Perry","Taylor Swift"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0e1637b25e958291/6988d1077cdbac6bf5d58b4a/taylor-swift-returns-streaming-services-katy-perry-album-release.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0e1637b25e958291/6988d1077cdbac6bf5d58b4a/taylor-swift-returns-streaming-services-katy-perry-album-release.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Taylor Swift Performs At Circuit Of The Americas","caption":"Taylor Swift Performs At Circuit Of The Americas","creditText":"Gary Miller—FilmMagic,","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4812588/taylor-swift-streaming-katy-perry-memes/","name":"The Internet Has Memes About Taylor Swift's Streaming Return on Katy Perry's Album Release Day"}}]}] ```
