Taylor Swift Celebrates Winning Apple Music’s Top Streamed Album

Taylor Swift is paying tribute to her fans after winning Apple Music’s Top Streamed Album of the Year for her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.

“Ahhhhhh thank you for listening to my music and TTPD so much!!!! You, the fans, made The Tortured Poets Department the TOP STREAMED ALBUM of The Year on @applemusic!!!” Swift, 34, wrote via Instagram Story on Tuesday, December 3. “You guys snagged me that Top Streamed Artist spot too.”

Apple Music Replay announced on Tuesday that Swift’s TTPD was the top streamed album of 2024.

Months after announcing her 11th studio album at the Grammys in February, Swift released TTPD in April. In the first week of its release, TTPD racked up 2.6 million equivalent album sales with 1.9 million traditional album sales (including digital downloads, CDs, vinyl LPs and cassettes).

TTPD had the third-largest sales week ever in the modern times, landing behind ‘NSYNC’s No Strings Attached (2.4 million) and Adele’s 25 (3.37 million) in terms of the most albums sold in a single week.

At the time, Swift wrote that her “mind is blown,” adding, “ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS? Thank you for listening, streaming, and welcoming Tortured Poets into your life. Feeling completely overwhelmed.”

The pop star went on to incorporate TTPD into her Eras Tour setlist. “We conceptualized and rehearsed it secretly, and surprised the Paris crowd with it when we started our European leg of the tour,” Swift wrote in her Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour Book, which was released on Friday, November 29.

Swift explained that she wanted it to feel “minimalist, white, stark and bold.” She added, “There was nothing else in the show like it, and it was such an exciting challenge to try and improve upon a show I already loved. Costumes were designed by Vivienne Westwood, with my lyrics printed in cursive all over my white dress.”

Taylor Swift continues to be in her record-breaking era with the release of The Tortured Poets Department. Swift, 34, released her 11th studio album on April 19, and it immediately began shattering sales and streaming records left and right.

Swift revealed that the “rover” platform that takes her around the stage during the concert is “actually operated by a crew member who lays inside the platform and drives it from the inside.” Swift wrote that she wanted to “create the illusion of an alien abduction, a battle scene, a religious institution, a mental institution, a haunted house, and a showgirl’s dressing room routine.”

Swift called it “ambitious as hell,” but after she and her team pulled it off she said it created “what I think is the most dramatic, cathartic, elame-rage driven part of the night.”

In Us Weekly’s latest cover story, a source exclusively shared that Swift plans on hosting Christmas with her and boyfriend Travis Kelce’s families. After the holidays, the insider said Swift will begin working on a new album and is talking about touring again in 2026.

“She had such a great experience on Eras. She really wants to do it again,” the source said. “She loves being with all her fans; it inspires her.”

Swift, however, is aware that “things can change.” The insider added, “A lot of it hinges on what happens over the next year with Travis. She’s told her team to give her one year to see how things go in her personal life.”
