Taylor Swift Makes Headlines After Winning Prestigious Award on Wednesday
After performing nearly 150 shows worldwide in 2024 during her record-breaking "Eras Tour," Taylor Swift has remained largely out of the spotlight throughout most of 2025.
However, her public appearance on Sunday alongside her boyfriend Travis Kelce and both of their families for Mother's Day may signal her return to the public eye — especially with fans still awaiting new music this year.
Swift, who is nominated for six awards at the upcoming American Music Awards on May 26, made headlines early Wednesday morning after being announced as the recipient of two major BMI honors.
The 35-year-old was named "Songwriter of the Year" for the second consecutive year and was also recognized for "Most Performed Songs of the Year," with hits like "Don't Blame Me," "Fortnight," and "Now That We Don't Talk" among the most-played tracks. Additionally, she received publishing awards for seven different songs.
"Big congrats to @taylorswift13, our 2025 #BMIPopAwards Songwriter of the Year — once again! With genre-defining hits like 'Don't Blame Me,' 'Fortnight,' 'Is It Over Now?' and so many more, Taylor continues to shape the sound of a generation."
While her success from 2024 is undeniable — and with more accolades expected at the American Music Awards later this month — Taylor Swift has continued to make waves in 2025 thanks to the staying power of her hit songs and albums.
On Tuesday, her 2020 album "evermore" saw a spike in streaming, jumping over 13% for the day and surpassing 300 million streams on Spotify in 2025 alone.
This makes "evermore" her 10th album to hit that milestone this year, despite none of the music being newly released. She remains the only artist to have 10 separate albums cross 300 million streams in 2025, and she accomplished it in less than 133 days.

Taylor Swift vs. Dallas Cowboys Fuels 'America's Team' Debate
Taylor Swift vs. Dallas Cowboys Fuels 'America's Team' Debate originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - Make no mistake, it's good to have Taylor Swift on your side. And the Kansas City Chiefs have - in so many delightful ways - "weaponized'' her fandom, the result of her romantic relationship with tight end Travis Kelce. Advertisement Nevertheless ... No matter what the internet might claim, "America's Team'' is still the Dallas Cowboys. The Kansas City Chiefs are most everything a franchise should aspire to be. They win at the highest level. They've built something special with Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid and, of course, the future Hall of Famer Kelce. And in the last couple of years, they have benefited from the added attention that came with Swift's involvement. The dating life ... the presence at games ... it's all a marketing dream for that team and for the NFL. But "America's Team'' is not a transferable title. It doesn't shift from city to city depending on who wins the Super Bowl. (By the way, if it did, "America's Team'' would be the Philadelphia Eagles ... and nobody wants that.) Advertisement What shifts from city to city is called the "Lombardi Trophy.'' Dallas became "America's Team'' because of success and visibility and marketing, with NFL Films in the late-70's having recognized this and then coining the phrase. Coach Tom Landry hated it. It put a bullseye on his Cowboys. The bullseye remains. And so does the nickname. No matter what. The Cowboys went 7–10 last year and still averaged more viewers per game than almost anyone else in football. Still packed prime-time slots. Still sold merchandise. Still owned headlines. And they did it without a global pop star helping to boost the signal. Advertisement The Thanksgiving Day matchup last year featuring the Cowboys and Giants? 38.8 million viewers, peaking at 41.3 million — the most-watched NFL game of the entire regular season. And that will happen again this year. It's why the NFL's Game 1 is Dallas vs. Philly. It's why this season's Thanksgiving game - KC at Dallas - will likely set new records. It's about branding. And Jerry Jones has no intention of ever letting that slip away. If Taylor Swift shows up at this year's Chiefs-at-Cowboys Thanksgiving game, which will allow both franchises to bask in her glow? The "America's Team'' debate will rage again. But the facts won't change. ... in part because the Cowboys aren't just "America's Team.'' They're America's favorite team to hate. Advertisement Which is, in a way, another form of love. Non-transferable.

Taylor Swift's Reputation re-enters Top 5 of Billboard chart
Taylor Swift's Reputation album has re-entered the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 chart after she bought back her masters. The pop megastar recently made a landmark $360 million deal to reclaim the rights to her original master recordings of her first six studio albums. Since the, Swifties have been streaming the 2017 record like crazy, leading to a 1,184 per cent spike in sales in a week, per music data tracker Luminate. The majority of sales are from streaming with an increase of 125 per cent, to 34.75 million on-demand streams. The 14-time Grammy winner shared the news of the sale via a message posted to her official website. She wrote: 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow." Taylor added: 'A flashback sequence of all the time I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell this news. 'I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now. I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found that this is really happening. I really get to say those words. All of the music I've ever made … now belongs… to me.' The 35-year-old singer specified the rights she now owns include her music videos, concert films, unreleased tracks, album art and photography. She also referred to the collection as encompassing 'the memories, the magic, the madness, every single era, (her) entire life's work." In 2019, music executive Scooter Braun acquired the masters of Taylor's early discography — Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989 and Reputation — for $300 million, a move the artist publicly criticised, claiming she was not given the opportunity to purchase them herself. The rights were later sold to the investment firm Shamrock Capital. Taylor began re-recording the albums under her own ownership after signing a deal with Universal Music Group and Republic Records in 2018 before doing her new ownership deal.
