Sweeping across the globe with her record-shattering Eras Tour, Taylor Swift became the indisputable reigning queen of stardom last year. This fact was not only shouted from the rooftops by Swifties but also reflected in Time magazine deeming her 2023’s Person of the Year and Pennsylvania’s decision to officially declare 2023 Swift’s ‘Era’. Well, the numbers backed this claim. Her tour alone was projected to boost the economy of the country by a staggering $5.7 billion. Following this, her concert film further generated $26 million for AMC driving up their stocks. 

Latest reports suggest that besides these economic impacts, the 34-year-old also maintained a stronghold in another sector. 

Taylor Swift shone brightest in this market as well

The entertainment industry’s most renowned data and insights firm, Luminate has recently crowned Taylor Swift the biggest music artist of 2023. According to the company’s year-end report for 2023, the ‘Bad Blood’ singer took up 1.79% of the profits generated by the music market in the States. In comparison, one out of 78 on-demand audios streamed turned out to be a track by the pop sensation!

Considering the large chunk of re-released works by Swift in 2023, this feat was quite expected. Alongside the Taylor’s Version albums of ‘Speak Now’ and ‘1989’, the 12-time Grammy winner also released remixes of some previous tracks and ‘The More Lover Chapter’ rendition of ‘Lover’. Not only did these melodies reignite her star power but also broke back-to-back records throughout 2023. 

Here are some of the biggest achievements Swift’s albums earned her in 2023. 

The many milestones Swift bagged in 2023

Firstly, she became the first female artist to flaunt four albums concurrently within Billboard’s Top 10 chart. Secondly, she solidified her reign over the historic Billboard 200 list as the woman with the most number-one albums on this chart. 

Lastly, she orchestrated a vinyl resurgence, boasting the second-largest sales week in modern times according to Billboard. Additionally, ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ not only serenaded the airwaves but also claimed the title of the most streamed country album in a single day on Spotify.
