Taylor's ex, her vacation and her broken record. We break down the top artists of the festival season. Peggy Gou takes over the cover of Billboard, we review TikTok's Billboard Top 50 and look back at a past chart leader. Welcome to Billboard News. We have a lot to talk about, here are three things you need to know about Taylor Swift today.
Records keep breaking, Taylor's 'The Tortured Poet's Department' became the first album to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify in a single week. Oh, we're listening, but is one of the album's rumored muses doing the same thing? While Swifties and the public weigh in on whether the songs are about Tay's ex, Joe Alwyn or his fling with 1975, Matty Healy, ET caught up with the singer and asked, “did you hear his diss track?” To which he replied, “I haven't really heard it much, but I'm sure it's good.” It's good. And can we all stop figuring out who it is and just enjoy the music? I pretend it's my life. Lights, camera, bitch smile and apparently Taylor is smiling on vacation. Travis Kelce's mother shared on QVC that her son sent her a photo of them on a couple's vacation with Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid. All I can say about it is double power couple goals. Just invite me next time. Moving on to our latest cover star, Peggy Gou is blazing her own trail.
