Taylor Swift has been crowned the global recording artist of the year for a fifth time after breaking records, selling out arenas and topping charts throughout 2024.<\/p>\n

The US pop superstar, 35, previously won the award in 2014, 2019, 2022 and 2023 and has now been named by the IFPI, which represents the recorded music industry worldwide, as its recipient again for last year.<\/p>\n

The demand has led to 2023\u2019s 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version), 2022\u2019s Midnights, 2020\u2019s Folklore, 2020\u2019s Evermore and 2019\u2019s Lover all securing spots in the top 20 of IFPI\u2019s 2024 global vinyl album chart.<\/p>\n

The release of her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, last April also helped her win four other IFPI awards including global album chart, global vinyl album chart, global streaming album chart and global album sales chart.<\/p>\n

The singer\u2019s surprise double album was named the UK\u2019s biggest album of 2024 by the UK Official Charts Company Chart last year after spending 10 non-consecutive weeks at number one following its release.<\/p>\n

Swift wrapped her billion-dollar, record-breaking Eras Tour in December having started the mammoth string of dates in March 2023.<\/p>\n

Last summer, she made history as the first solo artist to perform at London\u2019s Wembley Stadium eight times on a single tour.<\/p>\n
