Nov 10, 2017 4:48 AM UTC

Taylor Swift’s [long-awaited sixth studio album](http://time.com/5015088/taylor-swift-song-titles/) _Reputation_ dropped just before midnight Thursday. But not everyone can hear it.

[Swift](https://twitter.com/taylorswift13/status/928840621556674560), following in her own footsteps, is not streaming the 15 songs on the album — except for the first four, which were put out prior to the full release. Instead, fans will need to pay up to hear her latest tunes, either by buying a physical copy or ponying up the $13.99 for the [iTunes purchase](http://taylor.lk/reputation-iT). Speculation is rife about when, exactly, the full set will pop up on streaming services like Spotify, but [according to Bloomberg,](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-07/taylor-swift-is-said-to-keep-new-album-from-streaming-for-a-week) it will be at least a week before Swift raises the floodgates for streamable consumption.

While this might come as a surprise to some, it’s not without precedent.

Swift has [long been vocal about artist rights](http://time.com/3639542/taylor-swift-spotify-thank-you/). In 2014, she pulled her music from the site, telling [TIME](http://time.com/3578249/taylor-swift-interview/), ” I think there should be an inherent value placed on art. I didn’t see that happening, perception-wise, when I put my music on Spotify.” (It wasn’t [until this summer](http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7825570/taylor-swift-spotify-streaming-again) that she made her own song catalogue available again.)

And in 2015, she then went on to pen an [open letter](http://time.com/3940500/apple-music-taylor-swift-release/) taking Apple to task for its decision not to pay artists during its streaming services trial period.

And while she chose to promote her [first four songs](http://time.com/5009227/taylor-swift-call-it-what-you-want-lyrics/) off of _Reputation_ with releases available on YouTube, starting with [“Look What You Made Me Do”](http://time.com/4918411/taylor-swift-look-what-you-made-me-do-music-video-references/) back in August, she reverted to her more traditional approach for the big album release day.

That’s because, in a world that often feels dominated by streaming, [album sales still matter](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-08/taylor-swift-on-pace-for-year-s-biggest-debut-without-streaming) for the artist’s bottom line — and in terms of chart rankings. For most artists, getting listeners to spend cold hard cash on a purchase can be a challenge. But as [Adele proved](http://time.com/money/4126104/adele-album-sales-record-25/) in 2015 when she also eschewed a streaming release [for months](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-07/taylor-swift-is-said-to-keep-new-album-from-streaming-for-a-week), big names can cash in on sticking to a payment model. Adele [broke sales records](http://time.com/money/4126104/adele-album-sales-record-25/) by delaying her music’s availability. Swift, it seems, may be up to a similar savvy game.
