Fans all over the world screamed in joy and relief when, during the 2024 Grammy Awards acceptance speech, Taylor Swift announced the release of her eleventh studio album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’. Two months later, the album arrived, an anthology of immense emotional turmoil, telling the sad tales of sheer heartbreak. But since then, there has been a halt on the musical scene from Swift, who is lately occupied in some unforeseen circumstances. But despite no new work, the ‘Bejeweled’ singer has recently left behind her contemporary, Ariana Grande, for a Spotify milestone.

This news was recently shared by the official page of Taylor Swift updates on X.

As for Ariana Grande, her last studio album, 'Eternal Sunshine', also came out around a year ago in March 2024. Though it was followed by one more single in June. Moreover, the album was recently reissued as 'Brighter Days Ahead' in March this year.
