Today marks #20YearsOfTaylorSwift.
Widely regarded as the biggest star on the planet, Taylor Swift has cultivated an era-defining career spanning 20 years, with her twelve record-shattering albums catapulting her into music history’s Big 5 (joining The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and Queen), claiming the honor of being the #1 best-selling female artist of all time (with 270 million album units) and solidifying her place as the de facto leader of the 21st century.
She is the #1 highest-grossing touring artist of all time, the #1 Billboard 200 artist of all time, the #1 most-streamed artist in Spotify history, the #2 most-streamed artist in Apple Music history, the #1 best-selling artist of the 21st century, the #1 most-awarded female artist of all time, the youngest woman to ever be inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the only musical act to ever be hailed TIME’s Person of the Year, the only artist to ever have eight 1M+ debuts on Billboard 200, and the record holder for the most Album of the Year wins in GRAMMYs’ seven-decade history (with a legendary four AOTY wins).
Among the near-unbreakable records that have cemented and immortalized her legacy, the biggest of them all are her cataclysmic, economy-shifting, earthshaking Eras Tour holding the title as the #1 highest-grossing tour of all time (with an unprecedented $2.077 billion total); her streaming behemoth “THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT” obliterating the record for the biggest album debut in Spotify history (with a whopping 314.5 million first-day streams); her being the only artist in history to ever *completely* sweep the entire Top 10, the entire Top 12, and the entire Top 14 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart; and her sales juggernaut “The Life of a Showgirl” holding the record for the biggest album debut in Billboard 200 history, amassing an astronomical 4.005 million album copies (U.S.) on its first week alone and practically breaking every single sales record in existence.
Her monumental 13th studio album is yet to come.
Taylor just got inducted in the songwriters hall of fame as the youngest artist ever to do so and yall here are fighting over pitchfork reviews which is run by a twink who hates taylor as much as you do please 😭

Taylor Swift didn't just break records—she took ownership of them. The Forbes Iconoclast List member leveraged her star power to buy back her original masters for $360 million, doubling her net worth to $2 billion by March 2026. She is officially the richest female musician in history.

@livstraitor that’s what you deserve for calling out Taylor on things the turd in your pfp has done but do not work for her cause her song is plummeting everywhere already
@kruggins@PopCrave a mariah fan has no place talking about chart obsession when your fav relied on payola and tommy mottola to have all the #1 records she has now
It’s a *Toy* Story 🤠
You knew it! My new original song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for Disney and @Pixar’s @toystory 5 will be yours on June 5th. I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?
You can pre-order now exclusively at https://t.co/NoneI6kxdH and catch Toy Story 5 in theaters June 19th ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
