Although Taylor Swift did not release an official “new” album in 2021, she has still managed to make history once again. With three separate projects catapulting to the top of the Billboard 200 charts over the course of the calendar year, Swift became the first female artist to accomplish this feat. Additionally, in March of 2021, Swift took home her third Grammy Award for Best Album of the Year for her 2020 album, Folklore, making her the first female artist in history to receive three of these awards. In May, the pop star also accepted the Global Icon of the Year award at the 2021 BRIT Awards, making her the first woman to do so. Swift’s iconic rise to fame and recognition has been a force to be reckoned with for more than a decade, and she shows no signs of slowing down.
