The previous record was held by Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ in 2024. This marks Swift’s latest Spotify-dominating achievement. Over the last couple of years, she’s broken numerous records on the streaming platform, including being crowned Spotify’s most-streamed artist of 2024.
Since announcing ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’, Taylor Swift has revealed several details of the album, including its tracklisting – which includes one feature from Sabrina Carpenter – its themes and more.
Swift has described the follow-up to last year’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ as “the record I’ve been wanting to make for a very long time”. The project will focus on “what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life” during the record-breaking ‘Eras Tour’. Swift recorded the album in Sweden, in between shows on the huge tour.
Speaking on New Heights, Swift explained that there are “no other songs coming” beyond the standard tracklist: “With ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, I was like, ‘Here’s a data dump of everything I thought and felt in two or three years. Here’s 31 songs’. This is 12. There’s not a 13th, there’s not other ones coming.”
She most recently announced her engagement to Travis Kelce, writing in a caption on social media: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” Details of when the couple are expecting to get married have yet to be made public.
