Short Answer: Yes
When it comes to cold, hard numbers, Taylor Swift is the undeniable GOAT…
Another day, another historic milestone for Taylor Swift—just in time for Mother’s 35th birthday! It’s no surprise, really; Taylor Swift and Billboard practically live in the entertainment news spotlight at this point.
Taylor Makes Billboard History
Earlier this month, Billboard unveiled their Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century list, and—shockingly—Beyoncé took the #1 spot. Cue fan wars. But when it comes to cold, hard numbers, Taylor Swift is the undeniable GOAT. Honestly, we could just rename the Billboard Music Awards the Taylor Swift Awards. She’s officially the most decorated artist in the show’s history, surpassing Drake, who now sits comfortably in second place. And let me tell you, Drake’s constant presence in these rankings has me questioning whether chart stats always align with actual talent, but whatever—Taylor is forever my queen.

Swift swept the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, winning 10 categories, including Top Artist and Top Billboard 200 Album for The Tortured Poets Department. She walked in with 17 nominations and walked out with trophies for Top Female Artist, Top Hot 100 Artist, and Top Hot 100 Songwriter, among others. This brings her career total to a record-breaking 49 Billboard Awards.
For comparison, Drake, with his three wins this year, now boasts 42 total. Bad Bunny, Jung Kook, and Zach Bryan also snagged multiple awards, with Bryan’s Zach Bryan taking Top Country Album. (Yes, I admit it: Zach Bryan was in my top five for Spotify Wrapped. Don’t judge.)

Undeniable Talent
While the Grammys aren’t until February, let’s not forget Swift also made Grammy history earlier this year, securing her fourth Album of the Year trophy. She’s up for six more awards in 2025, and if her Eras Tour success is any indicator, I’d bet Taylor Swift’s net worth she’ll crush it again. Speaking of bets, check out the entertainment betting odds—because honestly, her chances of winning are looking better than ever.

Her career is proof that Taylor Swift albums resonate with people. Numbers don’t lie: she’s the reigning queen of awards, sales, streams, concerts, merch, and even film now. Being the GOAT doesn’t mean other artists aren’t talented—it’s just facts. Just like Tom Brady is the GOAT of QBs, Taylor reigns supreme in pop. She’s like the Simone Biles of music.
We’ll see what happens at the Grammys, but until then, I’ll be bumping Taylor Swift songs and prepping for the inevitable chaos when the Eras Tour documentary drops (manifesting!). Happy 35th, Taylor Swift birthday queen!
