Alongside a $1.1 billion fortune, the singer became the first on several fronts and boasted of clinching a ton of records in 2023 alone. However, the 34-year-old is far from done yet. Standing tall with 12 Grammy Awards and 14 MTV Video Music Awards, she still cruises ahead to steamroll several of the top music-makers and the latest on her list is The Weeknd.

The ‘Wildest Dreams’ singer currently has her fame and worth on full resplendence as barely a couple of days after tallying herself with Metallica for Vinyl sales, she has now taken in on The Weeknd. Taylor Swift just became the first female solo artist to surpass 111 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Additionally, she stood a mere two million short of overtaking The Weeknd’s current record of the most streamed monthly artist ever.

The bold show of dominance comes at the closing of a year that saw her break several such records. The singer also entered the Guinness Book of World Records for her Eras Tour becoming the highest-grossing music tour ever. Alongside, her ‘Midnights’ became the most-streamed album in a single day in Spotify history, while she also landed herself as the most-streamed artist in a single day on Spotify. Thus, the garland of records makes her a formidable force in the industry and a definite owner of superstardom.
