It looks like Taylor Swift is charging up for the Grammy season by bottling up personal feats with her Grammy-nominated legacy. While one cannot deny the absolute show of power Swift initiated the previous year, 2024 feels no different from her display of trump cards. With 6 nominations up her sleeve to dictate the wins for this year’s Grammys in various categories, her twice-nominated ‘Midnights’ album is currently carving a landmark history for Spotify.

By now, Swift’s spot on Spotify has been no less than a second home for the streamers. But with this recent streak, it will be more than clear why ‘Midnights’ could become a sure-shot Grammy pick.

In the record industry, not many have shown the amount of authority in breaking records like Taylor Swift has done in the past year. After breaking several Spotify records, Swift was even acknowledged with an exclusive star symbol feature for her track streaming. Now with the new year’s onboarding, the songstress has stepped in to reset the chapter of records with fresh milestones. And the recent addition to it is her Grammy-nominated studio album ‘Midnights’, surpassing 8 billion streams on Spotify.

As a seasoned holder of Spotify records, this is not the only score she has mastered with ‘Midnights’. The album has even become the fastest female album to achieve that figure in Spotify’s history to date. Since the album has also been nominated twice for this year’s Grammy Awards, this accomplishment could set an avenue for twice the recognition and twice the probability of taking home the trophies.

Records Broken by Taylor Swift’s Midnights’

For the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift’s ‘Midnights’ has been on the nominee list for both the Album of the Year and Pop Vocal Album of the Year categories. While that makes her chances of winning twice as much, here are the other reasons that could contribute to the album’s trophy addition. Back in 2022, after the album’s release, it recorded a bombshell streaming frenzy with 228 million Spotify streams in 24 hours.

Furthermore, her ‘Snow on the Beach’ track with Lana Del Rey also broke the record for most single streams for an all-female collaboration on Spotify with 15 million streams in a day. The album even achieved the biggest streaming weak for any album by a woman with 549.26 million streams in the debut week. Since on the way, Swift also broke records previously held by Drake, Lady Gaga, and Ariana Grande, it is now showtime to wait and watch if ‘Midnights’ makes history for the Grammy night as well.
