A Taylor Swift track mistakenly appeared on Spotify recently under the name of Lostprophets.

The singer does not currently have any songs on the streaming service after publicly criticising the platform.

However, her 2012 single 'I Knew You Were Trouble' - last week appeared on Spotify credited as defunct Welsh rockers Lostprophets.

The song was seemingly online for three days before being removed.

A Spotify rep said: "The track in question was delivered to us by a provider, whose responsibility it is to ensure that content delivered to Spotify is fully licensed and in compliance with our Infringement Policy.

"We take the integrity of our catalogue very seriously, and will immediately remove any content that is found to be incorrectly licensed or attributed to the incorrect artist or composer.

"The track was taken down as soon as it was discovered (three days after it was delivered), and we will be taking the matter further with the provider who delivered this track."

Lostprophets' name was sullied in late 2013 after singer Ian Watkins was jailed for 35 years for child sex offences.
