The singer, 35, was the streaming platform’s highest earner over the last 12 months – as it paid out a record £7.7billion to artists.

Back in 2014, Taylor pulled her music from the platform in a row over pay. It wasn’t added back until 2017.

The Shake It Off hitmaker said at the time: ‘It’s my opinion music should not be free.’

Elsewhere, The Weeknd was the second most streamed artist on the platform, earning around £39.8million in royalties.

Ariana Grande reportedly pulled in £30million for her music, while Bruno Mars’ streams made £25million.

Earlier this year, two of her albums, her eponymous debut album from 2006 and 2017’s Reputation, were no longer listed in the discography of her Spotify page.

The singer’s devoted fans quickly assumed this meant the re-recordings, called Taylor’s Version of the two albums were being released soon.

Other schools of thought were that it was a Spotify bug, which it appears to be.

Her debut album is back in the list of her albums on the app and Reputation can be played from search, but is not showing up on the list as of this writing.

One fan dramatically revealed her worst fear, saying ‘My worst fear is that I’ll be asleep when Reputation TV drops.’

Taylor is in the process of re-recording her first six albums that were released under her former contract with Big Machine Records.

In 2019, Scooter Braun bought Big Machine – and the master recordings of Taylor’s first six albums, which she had fought valiantly to own herself.

After that, Taylor vowed to re-record those six albums and she’s completed four of them to date: Fearless (Taylor’s Version) (2021), Red (Taylor’s Version) (2021), Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (2023), and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (2023).

The only two left are Taylor Swift and Reputation and fans have been frothing at the mouth for any news on when Taylor’s Version of Reputation will drop.

The album contains fan favorites Look What You Made Me Do, ….Ready For It and Don’t Blame Me.

Swifties were sure she was going to announce the new Reputation during her Eras Tour.

Now that the Eras Tour has wrapped, Taylor has more time to devote to ‘normal’ things – like watching her boyfriend Travis Kelce, 35, play professional football.

The pair were seen for the first time together this week following the Chiefs loss at the Super Bowl one month earlier.

The couple have mainly flown under the radar after the Kansas City Chiefs’ humiliating defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles last month during Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

Swift had supported her beau during the big game – and was notably booed by attendees in the stadium when she was shown on a large jumbotron from her VIP suite.

Boos from the crowd could be heard echoing throughout the venue – and her reaction soon became a viral meme.

She momentarily looked stunned before giving a side-eye and then leaning over to briefly address a friend sitting next to her.

In regards to what the performer had stated, lipreader Nicola Hickling revealed to DailyMail.com that Taylor said, ‘aww what, what’s going on.’

Kelce’s reaction to his girlfriend getting booed in the stadium was revealed with a source telling Dailymail.com, ‘Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him.’

‘He always protects her and it broke his heart. He was already having a tough night and the fact that the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn’t help. Travis knows that this hurt her and anyone can see this.’

The insider added, ‘It’s clear to many that the Eagles fans feel she is a traitor of sorts – being from Pennsylvania and even wearing Eagles gear prior to dating him.

‘Travis believes that it was unnecessary for Trump to take a dig at her especially after he voiced that he was honored for a president to be there.’

The source continued, ‘After Taylor being shut out for a Grammy and Travis losing the biggest game of the year it just hasn’t been a good week for them.

‘But he knows that even though this is not a happy ending to the season having her love gives him so much joy.’

Days after Taylor was booed and the Chiefs’ loss at the Super Bowl, People reported that the pair planned to take a step away from the spotlight.

‘Their lives have been a whirlwind since they first started dating. Things seem great between them, and they’re incredibly happy together,’ a source informed the outlet.

The insider added Taylor and Travis will ‘have a break together’ and stated that the Super Bowl loss ‘was upsetting for everyone.’

衝撃!中居正広の性暴力認定とフジテレビの衝撃的な対応…渡邊渚が命を断とうとしたその瞬間、何が起こったのか?証拠隠蔽の真実が暴かれ、業界が震撼する!

中居正広さんに関する新たな事実が、フジテレビとその親会社フジメディアホールディングスによって設置された第三者委員会の調査報告書から明らかになりました。この報告書は2025年3月31日に公開され、2023年6月2日に発生した中居さんによる性暴力の被害について認定しています。委員会は、性暴力を定義する際、被害者との関係性や状況を問わず、同意のない行為や強制的な行為を含むとしています。 調査の過程で、被害を主張する女性Aさんは全面的にヒアリングに応じる意向を示した一方で、中居さん側は守秘義務を理由にヒアリングに応じず、これが調査の透明性を損ねる要因となりました。報告書は、フジテレビがこの事案をプライベートな問題と捉え、必要な対応を怠ったと厳しく批判しています。 特に、フジテレビの社長である港光一さんの対応が問題視されており、被害者へのメンタルケアや救済の体制が整えられなかったことが指摘されています。さらに、調査報告書には中居さんが女性Aさんに送ったメールのやり取りも含まれており、彼女を食事に誘う過程での権力の不均衡が浮き彫りになっています。 また、タレント有についても言及されており、2021年12月に行われたスイートルームでの会合が問題視されています。フジテレビが支払った高額な宿泊費用が不適切であった可能性も指摘されています。このタレント有の正体については様々な憶測が飛び交っていますが、現在のところ明確な情報はありません。 最後に、報告書はフジテレビのハラスメント体質や人事支配構造についても厳しく指摘し、業界全体の問題として位置づけています。再発防止に向けて、被害者への謝罪やコンプライアンス体制の強化が求められています。この問題は、メディアエンターテインメント業界全体に存在する構造的な課題を浮き彫りにしており、今後の動向が注目されます。
