Travis Kelce's beau Taylor Swift sets historic streaming record on International Women's Day, surpassing 7.2 billion Spotify streams

Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of tight end Travis Kelce, has maintained a low profile following the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl LIX loss. In April 2024, Swift released a surprise double-album, The Tortured Poets Department. The album became the first in Spotify history to have over 300 million streams in a single day. The album topped the Billboard charts for 17 weeks in 2024, but her album did not win any Grammy Awards, but is still breaking new records in 2025.

In the wake of the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of Travis Kelce, has been keeping under wraps. Having completed her record-breaking Eras Tour in December—being the first act to top $2 billion in ticket sales—Swift, 35, has been enjoying a well-deserved respite from the limelight.

While on the tour, she shocked fans by releasing a double album, The Tortured Poets Department, in April. The album, which features various songs inspired by her relationship with Kelce, broke records when it became the first album in Spotify history to surpass 300 million streams within a day.
While Swift went home Grammy-less from the awards after receiving several nominations for her 11th studio album, the album's success hasn't tapered. In 2025, The Tortured Poets Department continues to reign supreme on the charts, being at No. 1 for a record 17 weeks on Billboard in 2024 and making fresh records in the process.
On March 8, coincidentally International Women's Day, Taylor Swift's fans had even more to cheer about as her album hit a whopping 7.2 billion streams on Spotify. The feat was another milestone in Swift's record-breaking career, further solidifying her position as one of the most influential artists in the industry.

For perspective, Olivia Rodrigo's Sour is the most-streamed female artist album on the site currently. Launched in May 2021, the album has garnered over 14 billion streams, based on Chart Masters. Interestingly, The Tortured Poets Department was able to achieve half that figure within just one year of its release, demonstrating its widespread influence and sustained popularity.
A source informed Page Six that the pop star and Kelce recently went on an international vacation. "Taylor and Travis had a really nice time reconnecting after a very busy year," the source said. "Taylor and Travis have stepped out for a date night since returning to the U.S. but went unnoticed when they did so. They weren’t photographed or anything, and enjoyed a low-key night out on the town together.”
