John Mayer has publicly praised his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift for leading a boycott of streaming service Spotify after taking issue with having her music given away for free.
Swift removed all of her tracks from the site without prior notice in November, days after the release of her new album 1989, as part of a protest about the value of artists’ work.
She was inundated with messages of support from fellow musicians and now Mayer has joined those in applauding her efforts.
During an interview with Ronan Farrow, Mayer admitted her push against Spotify is “really cool,” adding, “Artists need the person with the loudest voice to speak for them.
