Like every year for, oh, the last 13 years or so, Taylor Swift dominated the music industry and seemingly the world. Here’s just a fraction of what she did in 2024.
January: Taylor smooches boyfriend Travis Kelce on the field as the Kansas City Chiefs clinch the AFC Championship.
February: Taylor wins an unprecedented fourth Album of the Year Grammy for Midnights and uses one of her two trips to the podium to announce that a new album, The Tortured Poets Department, is coming in April. She also flies from Japan back to the U.S. to see Travis and the Chiefs win the Super Bowl.
March: The Eras Tour concert film hits Disney+ and becomes the streaming platform’s most-watched music film of all time, with nearly 5 million views in three days.
April: Taylor drops The Tortured Poets Department and two hours later releases TTPD: The Anthology, featuring 15 extra songs. Numerous songs seem to be about The 1975 singer Matty Healy, who she dated briefly, but there are also songs that seem to be about Joe Alwyn and Kelce. The first single, “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone, debuts at #1, as does the album. The latter racks up 15 weeks on top.
May: Taylor adds seven new songs from TTPD to her Eras Tour, dubbing the new segment Female Rage The Musical.
June: Travis joins Taylor onstage in London; he gets to carry her during the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” segment of the show while wearing a tuxedo and a top hat.
August: Taylor plays her eighth show at London’s Wembley Stadium, breaking Michael Jackson‘s record for most number of shows at that venue by a solo artist during a single tour.
September: Taylor wins seven MTV VMAs, bringing her total to 30 Moon People. She’s now the most-awarded artist in VMA history.
November: Taylor releases The Eras Tour Book and the vinyl and CD versions of TTPD: The Anthology exclusively at Target. She also earns six Grammy nominations.
December: Taylor concludes the Eras Tour in Vancouver, Canada, after 152 shows and more than $2 billion grossed. The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology returns to #1.
