FWIW, those figures are in dispute. Swift and her management publicly stated that she was getting a lot less from Spotify -- IIRC, under $1 million. http://ww

  If I recall, her dispute was in dispute by Spotify CEO. He asserted her final cut was probably what she was stating, but Spotify's checks to her label were in original $6 million range payouts, and that she should take the issue up with her management if they are taking that much out of her cut.

    There's more than one artist on her label (which, by he way, is not owned by her or her family, though they do have a minority stake).

      That would be irrelevant for her payouts as an artist. Spotify states that Taylor Swift, the artist (not the label), was pulling down $6 million a year from them alone. Swift stated she was only receiving around $1 million, to which the Spotify CEO referred her to speak with her management because they were clearly taking a massive/majority cut out of her payout. She's very young, and probably didn't pay much attention to her contracts and such. Even still, 80% is a lot for a label to consume in "management" fees.
