This vulnerability and relatability have been pivotal in maintaining her significant and devoted fanbase.

Swift's impact extends beyond music, influencing various aspects of culture and society.

543. The countdown to midnight. Taylor Swift's highly anticipated new album, The Tortured Poets Department, dropped. Then, two hours later, to answer price, the truck another 15 tracks. All this to say Swift's new album is Spotify's most streamed in a single day so far this year. No, she's definitely, you know, one of the top selling vinyl artists for sure. She's reached a stature now that, you know, few few pop stars get to super swifty. Chelsea Gibson says she had to have her own personal copy of the vinyl record. It makes it fun to have it in by your hands. Swift's latest songs tell a vulnerable tale of heartbreak, giving fans a peek into the personal life of a very public performer. I think speaking as a woman, it's hard to get representation that is as diverse emotionally as she's covered. Swift was named Time magazine's person of the year in 2023, a recognition of her influence on everything from pop culture to voter registration. The 34 year old has released five albums in the last five years, plus re recordings of her older work and I'll write your name and her era's tour drives an economic boost in every city. It hits. This music journalist says with this latest album, Swift delivers music her fans have come to expect. And I think you see this real vulnerability and of course that has been her hallmark over the years. But we also see Taylor Swift in present tense. So she's reflecting on the past, but there also are these really visceral responses to how she's experiencing her life today. Vincent says Swift's openness on her new album has made her even more relatable to fans, fostering a new level of devotion. Ido Musa, CBC News, Toronto.
