With “Style” and “Wildest” dreams making it to the top 10.

Considering each time Taylor has released her own re recorded version of one of her albums it has not failed to reach massive numbers in streaming and album sales. Now the only question is What kind of an impact will 1989 have, especially at a time when Taylor Swift is at the peak of her career.
With her record breaking Eras tour selling out domestically and internationally, Taylor officially entering her billionaire era with a net worth of $1.1 Billion, Cruel Summer having reached number one on the billboard charts 4 years after its release, the newly released ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ and of course on a personal note, Taylor and Travis Kelce being the talk of the town, we truly are in THE Taylor Swift Era.
