Swift is the only living artist with at least five titles in the top 10 at the same time in the past 60 years.
Not only was she named TIME Person of the Year, but according to Billboard, Taylor Swift towers over the top 10 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as she holds a whopping five titles in the region. She is the first living act to have five albums concurrently in the top 10 since the Billboard 200 was combined from its previously separate mono and stereo album charts into one all-encompassing list in August of 1963.
Taylor Swift has now won four Grammy Awards for being simply the very best.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s MAGA allies' increasingly unhinged attacks on pop superstar Taylor Swift are a tempest in a teapot, or a nothing-burger, since a DJ friend of mine likes to talk about the topic.
“What is her sin? She wants more people to vote,” he pointed out. “She wants to help people register to vote and remind them of the importance of expressing their democratic rights and responsibilities.”
Swift endorsed Joe Biden in 2020. And while the president’s camp reportedly hopes she will do so again this year, the only public position she’s taken lately is encouraging people to register to vote.
Newsom said there’s a reason Republicans find that threatening.
“That says everything you need to know about the Republican Party. They don’t want people to vote; they want to make it harder because they can’t win if you vote,” he said. “How sad and pathetic the Republican Party have become that Taylor Swift is a threat to them for one reason: She wants folks to turn out and vote.”
The Other Football Player in Taylor Swift’s Life
Scott Swift, her father, played a single season at the University of Hawaii before starting work in finance. His teammates from those days are only now discovering who he’s related to.
