Taylor Swift’s Speak Now races to the top of the Australian music charts

Taylor Swift has topped the Australian music charts yet again. 

Her latest album release, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) debuted at number one on the ARIA charts this week. 

It follows the record becoming the most streamed album in a single day in 2023 just 24 hours after it was released last Friday. 

Her single Cruel Summer was also at number four this week – and she currently has an incredible 20 songs in Australia’s top 50 singles chart.

The pop superstar, 33, is coming to Sydney for four nights next February and will take to the stage in Melbourne for three. 

The demand for tickets was unprecedented, as Ticketek announced that the pre-sale on Wednesday saw the highest ever number of people trying to buy tickets for an artist.

Over 800,000 fans logged on to try and nab tickets to her Australian tour, while the ticketing website said it repelled half a billion bots. 

It’s clear that Taylor has a major fan base in Australia, and she also previously claimed that her fans Down Under are her ‘favourite’. 

During Nova’s On Air With Smallzy, an interview with Taylor Swift from 2014 was aired. 

The radio host wanted to remind the country just how much the US popstar loves Australia.

‘I just want to thank them for being one of my favourites,’ Taylor said in the throwback interview. 

‘They’ve made Australia one of my favourite places to be because we get to come here and play stadiums.’

‘And there’s such amazing crowds and such amazing fans that I just want to thank them for making this a place that I come, and I feel very at ease here very at home because I feel like they understand what I’m trying to do.’

After pre-sale for Taylor’s Australian tour, an extra date in Sydney and Melbourne was added due to the high demand. 

The Grammy award-winning star will become the first artist since Madonna to perform three consecutive concerts at the Melbourne Cricket Ground when she takes the stage in February next year, and the first ever to play a fourth straight show at Sydney’s Accor Stadium.
