Taylor Swift will reportedly not let 'Reputation' stream online for at least a week
Taylor Swift is once again in negotiations with streaming services.
The pop star will reportedly be keeping her new album off streaming services for at least a week after it going on sale, according to Bloomberg.
Her team is reportedly still "negotiating" with streaming providers, to determine when her sixth album, Reputation, will be made available online to users on services such as Spotify.
For now, it seems like the only way to get hold of the album is through retail outlets or online stores such as iTunes, when the album drops on Nov. 10.
This isn't the first time Swift has demonstrated a strong stance against streaming platforms.
She famously removed her entire catalog off Spotify in 2014, saying streaming royalties were cut unfairly to artists and songwriters.
She had also spoken up about Apple's streaming service in 2015, in which she criticised Apple Music for withholding royalty payments from writers, producers and artists during the service's three-month free trial period. Apple later responded, saying it would change their policy.
It was not until earlier this year that Swift returned her music to all streaming services, saying it was a celebration of her album "1989" hitting the $10 million sales mark worldwide.

Swift also unveiled the track list for Reputation on an Instagram post on Wednesday, two days before the album's release date.
She was apparently forced to release it after the set list of 15 songs leaked and started circulating on social media.
The track list confirms a collaboration between Swift and Ed Sheeran and Future, and also lists Swift as the sole executive producer for her album.
