Taylor Swift has solidified her position as the queen of pop, emerging as Spotify’s most streamed artist of 2023. Despite this global dominance, her most popular track, “Cruel Summer,” surprisingly fell short of making the top five most streamed songs of the year.
Swift’s dominance extends beyond Spotify, as she continues to conquer the music industry with sold-out stadiums, numerous award wins, and chart-topping re-releases of her iconic albums. However, despite her immense popularity, “Cruel Summer” was outperformed by other popular tracks.

Globally, “Midnights” held the second position, just a hair behind Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny’s “Un Verano Sin Ti.”
Despite her song’s absence from the top five, Swift’s legacy as one of the most influential artists of our time remains firmly cemented.
