Taylor Swift’s Spotify monthly listeners have climbed steadily into the low 104 million range following the late-September release of The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, which added four new tracks including lead single “Patient Zero.” The project drove record single-day streams for a female artist in 2026 and produced the largest weekly listener gain among top artists, lifting her ranking to #5. Sustained catalog plays from 1989 and The Tortured Poets Department eras, combined with ongoing fan engagement and playlist adds, continue to support momentum heading into October. Traders will watch daily listener updates and any additional promotional activity or chart milestones that could accelerate or stall the upward trajectory before the October 31 deadline.
