Taylor Swift Becomes First Female Artist to Achieve Major Milestone
Taylor Swift has proved that she can never go out of style.
On Monday, it was announced that Swift is the first female artist to have 50 songs to surpass 500 million streams on Spotify. This milestone was achieved when 'The Way I Loved You (Taylor's Version),' from the re-recorded version of her 2008 album "Fearless," became her 50th track to cross the half-billion mark on the platform.
This news came out three days after the 35-year-old singer announced that she bought the rights to all her masters, meaning she owns every single album, music video, concert film and the art that comes with it.
"All of the music I've ever made...now belongs to me," the singer wrote in a letter that's published on her website. "Every single era. My entire life's work."
Trailing Swift are other powerhouse women in pop, such as Billie Eilish, with 36 songs over the 500 million mark, Rihanna with 31 and Ariana Grande with 29.
Other notable names include Dua Lipa (22), Karol G (19), SZA (18) and Doja Cat (17). Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey and Nicki Minaj each have 16 tracks that have reached the same milestone.
This news comes after Swift hit another milestone. Her classic hit 'Love Story,' also from her album "Fearless," recently surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.
The track, which helped launch her into worldwide fame, now holds a spot on Spotify's Billions Club playlist. It's her 16th song to cross the billion-stream mark, reinforcing her status as one of the most-streamed artists ever.This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 2, 2025, where it first appeared.

The NFL star recently appeared on the Bussin' with the Boys podcast, and during the episode he was asked about the experience of dating someone even more famous than he is.

"That's probably the craziest thing. Like, I'm just playing golf and all of the sudden in the trees there's just a fucking guy with a camera. Like, ah shit. I gotta go to the restroom now.' Related: "I can't just go over here and take a piss. Just don't want my meat on Page Six, know what I mean?"

'First of all, I'm not Taylor Swift,' he told Variety. 'I want to clarify now so that they don't get so excited: It's not going to be organized that way.

Caitlin Clark's WNBA Salary Called Into Question in Friday Night Post
Caitlin Clark's WNBA Salary Called Into Question in Friday Night Post originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark missed Friday night's game against the Dallas Wings due to a groin injury, marking the seventh missed game for the 23-year-old out of Iowa. Advertisement Clark vs. Paige Bueckers was a matchup that fans across the league had been waiting for since Bueckers was taken No. 1 overall in April's 2025 WNBA draft from UConn. But the injury sidelined Clark, who watched her team go on to win 94-86 and advance to an 8-8 record on the season. Caitlin Clark, in case you missed it, was last year's No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft. She made an immediate impact in her rookie season, averaging 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game while breaking multiple league records along the way. This year, she was off to a nice start before suffering a quad strain that kept her out for five games, followed by her groin injury that has sidelined her for the past two. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22)© Jerome Miron-Imagn Images While much of the focus was on the Fever and their performance in the absence of Clark, the All-Star guard was still a hot topic on Friday. This was after ClutchPoints posted how a "fan made more than Caitlin Clark's WNBA contract - just by selling her rookie card." Advertisement Back in March, a one-of-one autographed rookie card of Clark sold at an auction for $366,000, setting a record as the most expensive women's sports card — surpassing the $266,400 sale price of a Serena Williams card in 2022, according to The Athletic. As ClutchPoints' post noted, Clark's four-year rookie salary in the WNBA is worth $338,000. "Ironically, if Clark banked on her WNBA rookie contract alone, even she couldn't buy the card herself," the post further stated. Fortunately for Clark, she's making a lot of money through brand deals and endorsements. The Fever guard's reported net worth is $5 million, and it should be noted that she signed an eight-year, $28 million deal with Nike. Advertisement Sure enough, as the WNBA season progresses and Clark continues to draw eyes to the WNBA, her salary will remain a major topic of conversation.
