Taylor Swift Crowned Spotify’s Top Artist For Second Consecutive Year

Taylor Swift is still the real thing.

The Eras Tour songstress was named Spotify’s Top Artist for the second year in a row with more than 26.6 billion streams, Spotify announced on Wednesday, December 4. Swift, 34, placed ahead of The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake and Billie Eilish in the top five.

“The Tortured Poets Department” singer showed her gratitude to her top listeners via a message in the Spotify Wrapped section of the app, saying, “I look back on this year and I think about how special you guys made it for us being on the Eras Tour. We went all over the world. We went to Europe, Australia, Asia, back through America then to Canada. And so thank you if you came to see the show, thank you for streaming the music. It’s just been such a wild ride, and I really appreciate everything you guys have done — including listening to my music so much. So cool.”

TTPD also won the top-streamed album of the year award. Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, Karol G’s Mañana Será Bonito and Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine were also top contenders.

Meanwhile, Spotify placed a special badge on her profile and revealed new animation designs for each era to celebrate her win.

However, the most streamed song of the year was “Espresso” by Carpenter, who opened for Swift on The Eras Tour.
