Apple Music names Taylor Swift Artist of the Year
View Date:2024-12-23 16:26:48
Best believe she’s still bejeweled: Apple Music is naming Taylor Swift as its 2023 Artist of the Year.
"I am so honored to be Apple Music’s Artist of the Year," Swift said in a press release Wednesday from Apple Music. "Thank you to every single one of you for making this year the most incredible, joyful, celebratory year ever. From streaming the music nonstop to screaming it together in real life at the shows, dancing chaotically in movie theaters, none of this would have been possible without you. Thank you so much."
Apple Music said she saw 65 songs hit the streaming service's Global Daily Top 100 across the charts, streams, and concert stadiums, more than any other artists.
"Taylor Swift's impact on music is absolutely undeniable — not just this record-breaking year, but throughout her entire career," said Oliver Schusser, Apple's vice president of Apple Music and Beats. "She is a generation-defining artist and a true change agent in the music industry, and there is no doubt that her impact and influence will be felt for years to come. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to celebrate her achievements."
Taylor Nation, Swift's in-house fan account, posted to Instagram: "The crowds and stands went wild this year celebrating 17 years of music and memories. Now the artist of our lives is @AppleMusic’s #ArtistoftheYear."
