For those who do not know why the internet is making a big deal out of it must understand that Swift's return to Spotify comes as a surprise. How so?

The singer decided to put her entire album catalog up on Spotify on the night Katy Perry released her latest record, "Witness." The pair are known to have an unresolved feud. With that in mind, it remains unclear if Swift deliberately made the decision to throw some shade on Perry or if it was mere coincidence.
Swift's return to Spotify is in celebration of her album's success, at least that is what she is telling the world. And it is her way of thanking her fans. Over 10 million copies of "1989" have been sold world wide, and RIAA has given it the 100 Million Song Certification.
It may have been a while since their beef first started, in 2013, but according to Perry, she is ready to let it all go.
"Absolutely, 100 percent. I forgive her and I'm sorry for anything I ever did, and I hope the same from her and I think it's actually... I think it's time," Perry told Arianna Huffington during a livestream event for "Witness."
