Background

Taylor Swift has reached yet another major milestone on Spotify, as The Fate of Ophelia surpassed one billion streams on the platform. This achievement marks Swift’s 23rd song to cross the billion-stream threshold, the highest number ever recorded by a female artist on Spotify. With this, she officially moves ahead of Ariana Grande, cementing her position at the top of the all-time ranking.

What makes the milestone even more striking is how quickly it happened. The Fate of Ophelia reached one billion streams in just 128 days, making it the fastest song in Swift’s catalogue to achieve the feat. It also places the track among the ten fastest songs overall to ever hit one billion streams in Spotify history, a list typically dominated by global smash hits with massive first-day momentum.

Among female-led songs, the track ranks as one of the quickest ever to reach the milestone, highlighting not only Swift’s sustained popularity but also the strength of her streaming audience worldwide. The achievement reflects a rare combination of long-term fan loyalty and immediate mass appeal, something few artists manage to maintain at this scale.
