Taylor Swift’s Streaming Dominance: “Fortnight” Nears Billion, Shatters Records in 2025
Taylor Swift continues to reign supreme in the streaming world, proving her enduring popularity and the unwavering dedication of her Swifties. Even without releasing new music for nearly a year, she's shattering records and achieving major milestones. Let's dive into the latest exciting developments in the Taylor Swift universe.
One of the biggest headlines is the rapid ascent of her collaboration with Post Malone, "Fortnight," from "The Tortured Poets Department." This track is rapidly approaching one billion streams on Spotify.
"Fortnight" is projected to reach this milestone in just 102 days, potentially becoming her second-fastest song ever to hit the billion-stream mark. As of late May, the song had already surpassed 911 million streams, cementing its place as a fan favorite since its release on April 24, 2024.
The current record holder for Swift's fastest song to one billion streams is "Anti-Hero," from her 2022 album "Midnights," which reached the milestone in 275 days. "Cardigan," from "Folklore," took 1,205 days to hit the mark.
When "Fortnight" officially enters Spotify's Billions Club, it will become her 14th song to achieve this feat, with "Wildest Dreams" being the most recent addition before it.
But the streaming success doesn't stop there. Swift has also surpassed six billion streams on Spotify in 2025 alone, accomplishing this feat in just 121 days, despite the lack of recent new releases. This makes her the most-streamed female artist this year so far, a truly impressive achievement.
This year, Swift also dominated awards shows. Earlier this year, she won multiple iHeartRadio Music awards, including Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year for "The Tortured Poets Department," Favorite Tour Tradition, Best Lyrics and Best Music Video for “Fortnight,” Favorite Tour Style, and Favorite On Screen for her Eras Tour film. She also racked up six nominations at the American Music Awards, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for "The Tortured Poets Department."
While Swift has been dominating the music scene, she and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, have largely remained out of the spotlight since her Eras Tour concluded and the 2024 NFL season ended, enjoying quality time together and with friends.
From her early country ballads to her pop anthems and indie folk vibes, Taylor Swift's music continues to resonate with listeners across generations. Her versatility and ability to connect with fans on an emotional level are key to her enduring success. The fact that she has amassed six billion streams on Spotify in 2025 alone, with much of the year still to come, is a testament to her global reach and the dedication of her devoted fan base.
