Taylor Swift has topped the Spotify streaming charts for second year in a row, as her plans for Christmas are revealed.
Swift was named the top-listened-to artist this year with 26 billion streams, thanks to her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, and her Eras Tour.
Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft came in at second place, followed by Sabrina Carpenter’s Short ’n Sweet, Karol G’s Mañana Será Bonito, and Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine.
It comes as Swift is expected to take her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce to the next level by spending Christmas together with their families.
It’s unclear exactly which family members will their celebration, but it’s possible that in addition to the Kansas City Chiefs star’s parents Donna and Ed other family will also be in attendance, according to US Weekly.
It’s possible that Kelce’s brother, Jason Kelce, his sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce and his three nieces, Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett, all join the Swift family for Christmas, given that they all celebrated the major US holiday Thanksgiving together last month.
As for the gifts, Jason Kelce recently joked that Swift is “tough to shop for” — but reckoned he had the perfect present in mind.
The former Philadelphia Eagles star who retired earlier this year revealed on told Jimmy Kimmel last week that his only option is to give Swift something “handmade” — given her staggering $A2.5 billion net worth.
And once the festive season ends, sources tell the outlet that Swift is looking to ring in 2025 in a “low-key” way.
Sources close to Swift told the outlet that the pop superstar is “exhausted” and is looking forward to “some relaxation and downtime”, after she wraps up her mammoth Eras Tour, which has run for close to two years, early next week.
Sources said she is planning to spend most of her time in Kansas City with Kelce until America’s NFL season wraps up before heading to Swift’s New York home.
According to one of the insiders, Swift plans to celebrate her 35th birthday — on December 13 — and the end of her Eras tour in New York.
And while she’s looking forward to a bit of rest and relaxation, Swift is reportedly already thinking about her next album and potential tour.
“She had such a great experience on Eras. She really wants to do it again,” the source said. “She loves being with all her fans; it inspires her.”
“Things can change. A lot of it hinges on what happens over the next year with Travis,” the insider added. “She’s told her team to give her one year to see how things go in her personal life.”
The New York Post reported that Swift and her family, including mum Andrea and dad Scott, hosted the Kelces for Thanksgiving.
The group celebrated the holiday at another of Swift’s homes in Nashville. A source said it was “really important” for the couple to celebrate together after her busy tour schedule forced them to miss out on celebrations last year.
