Taylor Swift has added yet another accolade to her already impressive resume, just ahead of whispers about the impending release of her new album. The 35-year-old pop icon has shattered yet another record, marking a significant streaming milestone with an astonishing 9 million streams solely on Spotify. According to Pop Base, the Anti-Hero songstress has made history as the first-ever artist to boast five albums each surpassing 9 million streams on the platform.
Chart Masters reveals that Taylor achieved this remarkable feat with her 2014 album, 1989, racking up 9 million streams; her 2017 album, Reputation, garnering 9.4 million streams; her 2019 album, Lover, amassing an incredible 12.5 billion streams; her 2020 album, Folklore, collecting 9.8 billion streams; and her 2022 album, Midnights, reaching a staggering 10.6 billion streams. The 14-time Grammy Award winner has been proudly dubbed the "Queen of Spotify" by her loyal fans, the Swifties, across social media platforms.
This latest triumph comes amidst swirling rumors about Taylor's next album, fueled by an alleged collaborator who let slip the beans. The Swedish producer, Jacob Corin, disclosed his work with two artists: Erik Arvinder and Taylor herself. A fan account dedicated to Taylor on X, named TSUpdating, shared an interview excerpt where Corin stated, "Vi ska bara göra klart Taylor Swift's platta," which translates to, "We're just finishing Taylor Swift's album."
Fans were thrilled at the news, their excitement beaming brightly. However, Universal Music Group promptly removed the video, and Taylor has yet to address the rumors.
