Not only that, but she has three Number 1 albums under her belt too. And there's more to come! Taylor's new album Lover is released on August 23 — while we wait to see how that fares, Official Charts reveals her biggest hits so far, based on sales and streams. The track reached Number 21 on the Official Singles Chart, its chart chances hampered in part by that decision to keep her music off streaming services it fared much better in the US where it peaked at 6. Despite the huge successes of chart-topping albums Red and , one thing that had eluded Taylor was a Number 1 hit, which she soon remedied with the lead single from Reputation. Helped along by an accompanying video packed with in-jokes and laden with references to her internet presence and numerous celebrity spats, Look What You Made Me Do went straight in at Number 1 in , and because it was available to stream straightaway, it's racked up 60 million plays to be her third most streamed track of all time.

4. ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’
One of them is a massive, multimillion-dollar enterprise filled with violence and betrayal, and the other aired on HBO. For more than a decade , a year-old woman from Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, has found herself at the center of our national conversations about race, gender, celebrity, victimhood, and even the intricacies of recording contract law. And, outside the legions of fans who eat up everything she puts out, no take on her ever stays solid for long. She was a precocious teenager, and the ultimate embodiment of white privilege. Swift — or at least the version of Swift on her albums — has remained largely the same person since her debut: a thin-skinned, bighearted obsessive, with a penchant for huge romantic moments. On her first five albums, her characters never eased into a relationship. This aspect of her songwriting matured somewhat with the coming of the Joe Alwyn era, as the love stories got slightly more quotidian, but even those were filled with secret affairs begun in dark bars — a mite more dramatic than Netflix and chill.
