Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus Lead Spotify Wrapped 2023

Taylor Swift Leads Spotify's Most-Streamed Global Artist

Taylor Swift has become Spotify's most-streamed global artist, surpassing Bad Bunny who held the top spot for the previous three years. Swift has accumulated over 26.1 billion streams worldwide since the beginning of the year. In the U.S., she was also crowned the most-streamed musician in 2023, with Drake, Morgan Wallen, The Weeknd, and Bad Bunny following behind. It's worth noting that Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, has the top-streamed global sports podcast on the platform called "New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce."

To celebrate Swift's achievement, Spotify unveiled 21 puzzle pieces on billboards worldwide, teasing her accomplishment. The puzzle pieces featured various symbols from the Swift-verse, such as dice and her signature red lips. Additionally, when fans stream her music, the progress bar on the platform will change colors according to the corresponding era color, and the progress button will turn into a sparkle. Some of Swift's biggest fans will receive a thank you message from her, as well as a special share card.
