Well, well, well, it looks like Taylor Swift is at it again – rewriting the record books on Spotify, that is.

Our favorite 33-year-old music powerhouse has just etched her name into history on the music streaming platform. On a fine Tuesday (August 29), Taylor Swift became the first female artist ever to gather a staggering 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify!

Let’s be honest, Taylor has been on a roll when it comes to breaking Spotify records. Remember that sunny day in 2023, March 19th, when her track “Cruel Summer” pushed her to grab the title of the artist with the biggest single-day streaming figures ever? Yep, she racked up a jaw-dropping 67 million streams in a single day.

Now, while Taylor is making these epic waves, it’s worth noting that The Weeknd currently holds the crown for the most monthly listeners on the platform, with a whopping 110 million fans tuning in regularly.

Right now, Taylor is basking in the glow of her spectacularly successful “Eras Tour.” The numbers are nothing short of astounding, with projections of the tour potentially pulling in over $1 billion in total ticket sales. I mean, who can resist the magnetic pull of a Taylor Swift concert, right?

Let’s not forget that Taylor dropped her 10th studio album, “Midnights,” back in October 2022, and it was a hit of astronomical proportions. And the hits keep on coming, as she recently released her third re-recorded album, “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” in July of this very year. Oh, and guess what? That album became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2023 – talk about a record-breaker!

As if that’s not enough excitement, Taylor Swift treated her fans to another delightful surprise. On August 9th, during the final show of the first leg of her tour, she announced that her next re-recorded project would be none other than “1989.” Brace yourselves, because “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” is set to grace our ears on October 27.

Taylor Swift continues to set the world ablaze with her music and her unstoppable drive to make history. With each new day, she reaffirms her status as a pop icon and a trailblazer in the music industry. Who knows what the next Spotify milestone will be for her? One thing’s for sure – Taylor Swift’s music journey is one we’re all excited to be a part of.
