Taylor Swift Becomes First Female Artist to Achieve Major Milestone originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Taylor Swift has proved that she can never go out of style.
On Monday, it was announced that Swift is the first female artist to have 50 songs to surpass 500 million streams on Spotify. This milestone was achieved when 'The Way I Loved You (Taylor's Version),' from the re-recorded version of her 2008 album "Fearless," became her 50th track to cross the half-billion mark on the platform.
This news came out three days after the 35-year-old singer announced that she bought the rights to all her masters, meaning she owns every single album, music video, concert film and the art that comes with it.
"All of the music I've ever made...now belongs to me," the singer wrote in a letter that's published on her website. "Every single era. My entire life's work."
Trailing Swift are other powerhouse women in pop, such as Billie Eilish, with 36 songs over the 500 million mark, Rihanna with 31 and Ariana Grande with 29.
Other notable names include Dua Lipa (22), Karol G (19), SZA (18) and Doja Cat (17). Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey and Nicki Minaj each have 16 tracks that have reached the same milestone.
This news comes after Swift hit another milestone. Her classic hit 'Love Story,' also from her album "Fearless," recently surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.
The track, which helped launch her into worldwide fame, now holds a spot on Spotify's Billions Club playlist. It's her 16th song to cross the billion-stream mark, reinforcing her status as one of the most-streamed artists ever.This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
