There is more sparkle to this story. 'Fearless (Taylor’s Version)' did not just stick around; it took over. Forbes also reports that the album has now spent 53 weeks at No. 1 since its 2021 release, now that is over a year in the top spot. And it has officially surpassed the original 'Fearless', which held on for 185 weeks. Who knew a re-recording would turn into a legacy sequel with chart-topping power? Taylor Swift did. And she is still winning.
While her chart-topping streak keeps fans singing, Taylor Swift’s off-stage life has been just as headline-worthy lately. Turns out, the pop queen who commands a billion-dollar empire in 2025 as the richest female musician is not only climbing music rankings once again, but might also be mending fences. One of her closest bonds, loved by fans and paparazzi alike, just got a little more interesting.
