Taylor Swift has been a cultural icon and a trendsetter for well over a decade now, and she has an unstoppable fanbase, known as Swifties. Time and time again, they’ve proven their love for the artist and stood by her during difficult phases of her career.
Swift has been known for breaking several records in the music industry and has become a force to be reckoned with. She has no shortage of fans and they have reciprocated the same energy countless times, but this recent incident stands out!
Taylor Swift’s Fans Make History at the Eras Tour
The Swifties left their mark in an unexpected way during her Eras Tour stop in Toronto. And they have made it to the headlines because they had the highest mobile data usage ever at a single event at the Rogers Centre (via Global News).
Rogers Communication has claimed that fans consumed an astounding amount of data on its 5G network, i.e., 7.4 terabytes. Now, that enormous volume is equivalent to uploading 182,000 images or streaming 1,600 hours of video.
Even the Technology Officer of the company said, “Taylor breaks records wherever she goes, and her fans’ data usage at her Toronto shows was no exception.” This feat just shows how dedicated and enthusiastic Swift’s fans are. The Eras Tour is not just another concert for them, it’s a cultural movement! Moreover, the six shows from Toronto generated a revenue of over $282 million for the city.
Prominent Records Broken By Taylor Swift
If any fandom could achieve such a thing, it was of course Taylor Swift’s because she herself has broken many records, and this is simply another chapter in her ongoing story of dominance. Her Eras Tour has already become the highest-grossing concert tour of all time! In 2023, she was the most-streamed artist, with 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify (via Prestige).
The singer-songwriter has many accolades beyond sales and numbers. For instance, she’s the first woman ever to win the Album of the Year Grammy three times, plus she also holds the Guinness World Record for having the most amount of No.1 hits on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart.
She is also the only artist in history to have claimed all of the top 10 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in a single week. The list just keeps going, with 14 Grammy wins, a record-setting 40 American Awards, and the longest song (10 minutes) in history to reach the No.1 spot. With all these achievements to her name, Swift continues to prove why she’s in a league of her own!
