Taylor Swift has enchanted fans again.

The pop star took the No. 1 spot on Spotify's annual top global artists list for a second consecutive year, the streaming service announced Wednesday.

The global artists list reflects the most streamed musicians of the year among Spotify users around the world. Amid the crowded field of pop music releases this year, Swift received more than 26.6 billion streams, according to Spotify.

"In her Global Top Artist era," Spotify wrote on X, congratulating the artist.

Her album "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology," which was released in April, was the most streamed album on Spotify this year.

Additionally, "1989 (Taylor's Version)" was the sixth-most-streamed album on the platform this year and "Lover" was the eighth-most-streamed album.

Spotify released in-app Easter eggs for Swifties in celebration of Swift's success this year, including custom animations inspired by her "Eras Tour." It also put a Wrapped badge on Swift's Spotify profile.

The achievement comes as Swift winds down her Eras Tour, a celebration of her expansive career that started in March 2023. The tour is making its last stop this weekend in Vancouver, where Swift will perform its final three shows. 

Some fans, who ranked among Swift's top listeners on Spotify, received a video message from the singer in their Wrapped packages.

"Well hi," she says in the video. "I just wanted to say thank you so much for being one of my top listeners on Spotify. That's so nice of you. I look back on this year and I think about how special you guys made it for us being on the Eras Tour ... and so, thank you, if you came to see the show. Thank you for streaming the music. It's just been such a wild ride and I really appreciate everything you guys have done, including listening to my music so much. So cool."

The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake and Billie Eilish rounded out the top five of Spotify's global artist list after Swift.

Spotify users celebrated the release of Wrapped and the unveiling of the top musical moments of the year Wednesday.
