The latest accolade caps another major year for the 36-year-old star. Her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, topped both the UK and Irish charts and was later named the biggest-selling album globally in 2025 by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.

She also scored a UK number one earlier this year with Opalite, whose video featured appearances from Graham Norton, Domhnall Gleeson, Cillian Murphy, Lewis Capaldi and Jodie Turner-Smith.

While Swift tops the artist rankings, The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights is officially the most-streamed song of all time, ahead of Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You. Meanwhile, Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti claims the top spot among albums.
