Taylor Swift has once again etched her name in the annals of music history, becoming the first female artist to surpass an astonishing 100 billion streams on Spotify. This groundbreaking achievement was confirmed on Tuesday by Chart Data, a leading music data-tracking platform.
“Taylor Swift officially becomes the first female artist in history to earn a milestone 100 billion streams on Spotify,” Chart Data announced via X.
Swifties, as her devoted fanbase is known, wasted no time flooding social media with celebratory messages. One fan marvelled, “100 billion streams? Taylor really is in a league of her own.” Another ecstatic supporter declared, “Taylor Swift isn’t just breaking records – she’s rewriting the music industry. 100 billion streams is legendary status.”
This milestone is just the latest in a series of record-shattering moments for Swift. Following the release of her highly anticipated album The Tortured Poets Department on April 19, 2024, she achieved the title of the most-streamed artist in a single day in Spotify history. The album itself made waves across platforms, also securing the record for the most-streamed album on Apple Music.
The Tortured Poets Department features 16 tracks along with an exclusive bonus song, Fortnight, which boasts a collaboration with American singer and rapper Post Malone. The music video for Fortnight debuted on April 19, further amplifying the album’s success.
Beyond her latest project, Swift’s extensive discography continues to dominate the streaming charts. Songs like Cruel Summer, Anti-Hero, and Blank Space have amassed millions of streams, while her re-recorded albums, including 1989 (Taylor’s Version), set records of their own—most notably, breaking Spotify’s single-day album streaming record with over 300 million streams. Her most-played tracks include I Don’t Wanna Live Forever, Lover, Shake It Off, Cardigan, August, Style, and Don’t Blame Me.
Adding to her unparalleled legacy, Swift’s Eras Tour—her sixth concert tour—kicked off on March 17, 2023, delivering an astonishing 149 shows worldwide. The tour culminated on December 8, 2024, in Vancouver, Canada, after more than a year of performances. With ticket sales surpassing USD 2 billion, The Eras Tour stands as one of the most commercially successful tours in history, further cementing Taylor Swift’s dominance in the music industry.
