Taylor Swift has done it again. The global pop icon has become the first and only female artist in history to surpass a staggering 100 billion total streams on Spotify, cementing her reign as the platform’s undisputed queen. But, in true Swift fashion, she isn’t stopping there.
Taylor Swift Makes Music History… Again
The 14-time Grammy winner has also reached an elite milestone that only one other artist—Drake—has ever accomplished. Swift is now one of just two artists to amass 100 billion total streams, 100 million monthly listeners, and 100 million followers on Spotify, further solidifying her place in music history. As of now, she stands as the most-followed female artist on the platform with an impressive 132.9 million followers, second only to Indian singer Arijit Singh, who leads with 138 million.
This historic moment comes as Taylor Swift continues to dominate the charts with The Tortured Poets Department, her highly anticipated eleventh studio album, which broke records upon its release in 2024. The album set a new Spotify record for the most streams in a single day, racking up over 300 million streams in just 24 hours. It also became the fastest album to hit 1 billion streams, reaching the milestone in only a week—a record Swift previously set herself with Midnights.

If there’s one thing Swift excels at (besides crafting deeply personal lyrics and earworm melodies), it’s rewriting the record books. The Anti-Hero singer is the only artist ever to surpass 20 billion and 25 billion streams in a single year—twice, in both 2023 and 2024. With this latest feat, she continues to outdo even herself, proving why she remains one of the most influential figures in the music industry.
And for fans eager for more, the wait may not be long. Swift is reportedly hard at work on a new album set for release later this year, with rumors swirling about a 2026 tour. According to sources, her upcoming music will explore themes inspired by her relationships—most notably with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce and longtime friend Blake Lively.
However, while Swift is known for drawing from real-life experiences for her songwriting, she appears to be keeping a healthy distance from the ongoing legal battle between Lively and It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. The two actors are currently embroiled in lawsuits involving allegations of workplace misconduct, a situation Swift is allegedly steering clear of.
Another Era, Another Reinvention
With yet another milestone under her belt and whispers of new music on the horizon, Swift continues to evolve as both an artist and a cultural force. Whether she’s breaking streaming records, selling out stadiums, or crafting the next chapter of her musical journey, one thing is clear—Taylor Swift is nowhere near finished. And if history has taught us anything, her next move is bound to be just as groundbreaking as the last.
