Taylor Swift has officially ended 2024 on a high note, becoming Spotify’s most-streamed artist and earning the year’s most-streamed album with The Tortured Poets Department. Announced as part of Spotify Wrapped on Dec. 4, the accolades cap a record-breaking year for the 34-year-old pop icon.
Sharing her gratitude on Instagram Stories, Swift reacted to the news: “Top Streamed Artist and Album on @spotify this year?! You guys are unbelievable. THANK YOU!”
Swift’s reign didn’t stop with Spotify. She also claimed Apple Music’s top-streamed artist title, with TTPD topping the platform’s album chart for 2024. In a post celebrating both milestones, she exclaimed, “You, the fans, made The Tortured Poets Department the TOP STREAMED ALBUM of the year on @applemusic!”
A Record Year on Streaming Platforms
- Spotify reports that Swift amassed 26.6 billion global streams this year, making her their most-streamed artist for the second consecutive year.
- Her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, has spent 15 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned 6x Platinum certification from the RIAA in the U.S.
Sabrina Carpenter, a former opener on Swift’s Eras Tour, also claimed her spotlight with her song “Espresso” becoming the most-streamed song of the year, surpassing 1.6 billion global streams.
Closing the Eras Tour
Swift is wrapping up her nearly two-year Eras Tour this weekend in Vancouver, B.C., with a three-night finale running Dec. 6-8. Reflecting on her Wrapped win, she called it an “amazing thing to find out going into our last weekend of Eras shows.”
