Last year, the 36-year-old singer shattered multiple records, primarily thanks to her newest album, The Life of a Showgirl. When she released her twelfth studio album this past October, Swift became the first artist with 15 Billboard 200 No. 1s, achieved the biggest album debut in American history with over four million units sold, and dominated Spotify as the most-streamed album/song in a day, with all 12 songs being included in the platform's Top 50 playlist. In addition, she became the first female artist to surpass over 100 million RIAA-certified units.
