Taylor Swift has been breaking news every day thanks to the wild success of her Eras tour, which is selling out all across Europe.

Now the Cruel Summer singer is hitting the headlines for a different reason – becoming the first woman to have four albums on Billboard’s top 10 at the same time. Okay, wow!

The news comes as Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) reaches No.1 on Billboard’s 100. That’s her 12th album to reach No.1!

Up there alongside it are her albums Midnights, Lover, and Folklore.

This makes Tay a serious record breaker. To put it into perspective, the most recent artist to have four albums in the top 10 was Herb Alpert, an American trumpeter, in 1966.

Following that was Prince in 2016, who was the first and only artist to ever have five albums in the top 10.

Alongside this historical feat, Taylor is smashing records left, right and centre. The Pennsylvania native has become the only performer in history to land a new number one album for five consecutive years, and has also surpassed Barbara Streisand in the category of most No.1 albums for female performers.

We’re impressed.

General sale tickets for the Eras concert in Dublin will go live on Thursday, with packages costing up to hundreds of euro for VIP seats and stage views. Yikes.

Swifties, we wish you luck!
