Taylor Swift on top: sensational music news of 2025
Automatic translation. Read the Russian original
In a shocking turn of events, Taylor Swift topped the global top 10 most listened artists according to Spotify, ahead of giants such as Drake and Morgan Wallen in America, as well as Drake and Sabrina Carpenter in the UK. The news coincided with the unexpected appearance on the New Heights podcast of Hollywood actor Travis Kelsey, where he, along with his brother Jason, talked with George Clooney, which caused Kelsey to admit that there was no dispute with his girlfriend Taylor Swift ("only two and a half years of relationship" is not yet comparable to the 11-year marriage of Clooney and Amal). Unexpectedly, the top 10 also included fascist rapper Ye (Kanye West), who took 10th place in the American chart and 6th in the British. In the global ranking compiled by Spotify at the end of 2025, Bad Bunny held the leading position, and the most popular hit of the year was the song “Die with a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.
