Trey Pearson of Everyday Sunday Opens Up About Sexuality
Trey Pearson of the Christian band Everyday Sunday has opened up about his sexuality with 614 Columbus:

I made the mistake of reading the Facebook comments.

In a statement Spotify said, “We can confirm our partnership with Musixmatch is ending. It was a great partnership and there is mutual respect between both companies as our business strategies move us each in different directions.”
