In the big leagues of music, managing to exercise influence and garner fame with an entry into the everyday pop culture lexicon stands a feat only a few have managed to achieve. After the turn of the millennium, then-new and budding artists such as Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and Drake exerted a massive impact on the public with their beats. However, amidst the biggest names in the industry, the Eras Tour singer has clinched a spot of accolade that her hip-hop counterparts are yet to acquire under their belt.

In yet another testament to her legacy, astoundingly, the record that the singer can boast of dates back to their prime competitive era of the 2010s.

The long-standing Taylor Swift record that Kanye West is yet to beat

Taylor Swift stands tall as a pop megastar. The billionaire singer has many awards for her fame, the most notable of them being her 12 Grammy Awards. Entering the record books, Swift became the youngest artist ever to win an Album of the Year Grammy for ‘Fearless’ in 2010. Thereafter, she extended her tally with two more of the same honor for ‘1989’ in 2016 and ‘Folklore’ in 2020. In this very lead, the ‘Bad Blood’ singer beat the likes of Ye and Drake. 

While Kanye West has a total of 24 Grammy Awards to his name, none of them came for an Album of the Year. Moreover, Swift’s tally far outpaces Drake’s 5 and even Ed Sheeran’s 4. Standing tied with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon, the 34-year-old singer may just make history with a fourth win in the 2024 Grammy Awards for her nominated ‘Midnights’ album. If Swifties wished for another reason to celebrate, the upcoming 4th February Grammy Awards stands at their disposal.

Meanwhile, the singer remains steadfast in her approach to making it even bigger than her recent achievements.

The 2024 leg of the Eras Tour has kick-started its rehearsals

Moreover, with a total estimated revenue of over $4 billion coming by the end of it, the event stands unmatched in popularity.
