Taylor Swift is dominating the music industry, and she isn’t slowing down any time soon.
IFPI, the organization that represents the global recorded music industry, named Swift as the best-selling international music artist of 2019.
Swift also achieved this honor for her album 1989 in 2014.
Frances Moore, the chief executive of IFPI, said, “Taylor Swift is the epitome of a truly global star. She continues to grow as an artist and maintains an incredibly strong connection with her fan base, whilst continuing to evolve her sound with each album. It is a pleasure to be able to present her with the Global Recording Artist of the Year award for the second time.”
The singer released her seventh album, Lover, in August. It debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200, featuring hit songs “ME!” with Panic! at the Disco’s Brendon Urie, “You Need To Calm Down,” and “Lover.”
