With more than 252 million records sold to date, Taylor Swift is one of the world’s most successful artists today. In 2022, she occupied the top ten places in the US charts at the same time, and her album “Midnights” was streamed more times in one day on the music streaming service Spotify than any previous album. And her streak of success is not slowing down: in February she won the US music award Grammy for the best album of the year for the fourth time, setting a record.
With “The Tortured Poets Departement”, the 34-year-old is now releasing her eleventh studio album, on which she collaborated with, among others, the British rock band Florence + The Machine. On the first single “Fortnight” she can be heard with the US rapper Post Malone.
The hype surrounding Taylor Swift is beyond all dimensions
At the end of last year, Swift was named “Person of the Year” by the US magazine “Time”. The award winners have already included US President Joe Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris, the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, former Chancellor Angela Merkel and the US civil rights activist Martin Luther King. In a difficult year full of division and darkness, Swift “found a way to overcome boundaries and be a source of light,” said Time editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs, explaining the decision. “Nobody else can move so many people so well these days.” The magazine honored Swift with three different covers in which she also demonstrated her influence as a style icon.
Swift has been dominating the headlines for months: with her relationship with football star Travis Kelce, with her “Eras Tour,” which fueled local economic growth in the United States, and her concert film, which generated record revenue. So it’s fair to say that everything the “Anti-Hero” singer touches turns to gold. Taylor Swift is at the top of the career ladder and can look back on a unique career with which she is making music history. Your key to success: talent, courage and ambition.
