THE RECORD-BREAKER OF THE YEAR ACROSS STREAMING & STADIUMS
Taylor Swift

2023 will be remembered as the year of Taylor Swift, with the star reigning supreme and redefining the parameters of success in the music industry. Garnering the title of Apple Music's Artist of the Year, Swift's influence spanned across streaming services, concert stadiums, and the silver screen, marking an era that won't be forgotten fast.

THE YEAR OF SWIFT

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, the chances are that you’ve heard Taylor Swift’s music this year. From January to October alone, the ‘Shake It Off’ star’s presence was omnipresent on Apple Music, with an astonishing 65 songs securing spots in the Global Daily Top 100, an achievement unprecedented in the platform’s history. Her influence was equally palpable in concert venues, where fans from diverse backgrounds assembled to witness her musical storytelling. Swift’s streaming numbers skyrocketed, especially around the Taylor Swift Eras Tour, which is set to become the highest-grossing music tour of all time.

The commencement of the tour in March saw a 61% global increase in her streams, a testament to her enduring popularity and the excitement her music generates. The tour’s setlist, featuring a blend of old favorites and new hits, became the most-streamed of the year. Songs like “Bad Blood,” “Blank Space,” and “Wildest Dreams” found new life on the charts, resonating with both long-time fans and new listeners, cementing her as the Queen of Pop. At no other time has a performer had such an impact on the charts, particularly with songs now years old, demonstrating her star power and cross-generational appeal.
