‘1989’ leak
Swift’s new album 1989 is leaked to various music-sharing sites. Swift’s label, Big Machine Records, pulls Blank Space, the first song to hit YouTube, within hours. 1989 is set to release October 27. Anthony DeCurtis, contributing editor at Rolling Stone:
Taylor Swift’s fans are uncommonly loyal. I doubt that anyone who wanted to buy the album would be dissuaded by the leak.
