Taylor Swift's new album Reputation isn't available to stream

Taylor Swift has released her new record, Reputation, but it isn't available to stream.

Fans will have to buy a copy of her sixth album before it's made available on services like Apple Music and Tidal.

Taylor Swift has criticised streaming companies in the past, calling them "unfair" to musicians, and pulled her back catalogue off Spotify in 2014.

"I don't feel [it] fairly compensates the writers, producers, artists, and creators of music," she said.

Taylor tweeted a picture of a London bus with Reputation artwork and the caption "Friday. #reputation".

Bloomberg reported earlier this week that streaming companies are still negotiating with the singer over when they can start offering her album.

Taylor Swift has had a difficult relationship with streaming sites and has criticised the effect they're having on the music industry.

Her last album, 1989, only returned to Spotify in June as a "thank you" to fans after it sold 10 million copies.

She limited her tracks on Apple Music after challenging the firm over the fact it wasn't planning to pay royalties to artists during its three-month launch trial period in 2015.

In an open letter, she wrote: "We don't ask you for free iPhones. Please don't ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation."

In response, Apple reversed its payment policy.

Reputation features 15 tracks including a collaboration with Ed Sheeran and US rapper Future on the track End Game.

Taylor Swift's representatives haven't replied to a BBC request for comment about when fans will be able to access Reputation on streaming sites.

It's not come as much of a surprise that Taylor Swift's sixth album Reputation hasn't appeared on any streaming platforms.

There were plenty of reports this week that it would stay off those sites to start with.

According to numerous reports, streaming executives have been told they must wait a week, while retailers were initially told the album would not go on streaming sites for two weeks.

This is simply a smart move if you want huge first week sales figures.

Adele kept 25 off streaming services for seven months - she sold more than three million albums in the first week.

It's unlikely Taylor will break that record but early predictions from pre-orders would suggest she will hit the million mark in the first week, beating 1989.

Most people on social media suggest they're happy to buy a hard copy of Taylor Swift's new album or download it.

US actor Colton Haynes was very excited about the release of the album.

Natalie's happy to buy it so she can listen to it now.

But some people are refusing to buy Reputation.

Tori says she won't be purchasing a physical copy.

And Melina thinks Taylor Swift not putting her album on streaming services will just push people to download it illegally.
