MANILA, Philippines — Taylor Swift is getting back together with a few of her famous exes, including Spotify and Pandora.
 
The pop star's representative confirmed her full catalog will return to all streaming platforms Friday. Her official Instagram fan account, Taylor Nation, posted the news Thursday.
 
Swift's five albums, including "1989," also will be available on Tidal, Amazon and other streaming platforms, her rep said in a statement.
 
"In celebration of 1989 selling over 10 Million Albums Worldwide and the RIAA's 100 Million Song Certification announcement, Taylor wants to thank her fans by making her entire back catalog available to all streaming services tonight at midnight," the statement said.
 
 
Swift removed her music from Spotify in 2014 around the release of "1989," a Grammy-winning multi-hit pop album. No streaming service besides Apple Music was able to stream it. Swift allowed Apple to stream it after the music platform decided to pay artists royalties during its free three-month trial.
 
Fans rejoiced with Swift's return to Spotify but the fact she did it on the same day Katy Perry's new album "Witness" comes out did not escape others.
 
 
As of 4:13 p.m. on Friday, "#1989StreamingParty" is the second top trending topic on Twitter in the Philippines while "Taylor" is seventh. "Taylor Swift" is the third trending topic on Twitter worldwide.
 
 
 
 
A feud was rumored between the two stars for years and each released a song thought to be about it—Swift's "Bad Blood" and Perry's "Swish Swish."
 
But it was only last month that it was publicly admitted. 
 
Perry told late night TV host James Corden about the situation during the "Carpool Karaoke" segment.
 
"There's a situation. She started it and it's time for her to finish it."
 
 
Swift's hits include "Shake It Off," ''We Are Never Getting Back Together" and "You Belong With Me." — with a report from Mikas Matsuzawa and AP
