She released her tenth studio album ‘Midnights’ in October 2022 which proved to be a streaming disruptor and commercially successful album. The album release was followed by her global ‘Eras Tour’ which she kickstarted in March 2023. The tour is about to etch history by becoming the most successful album.
While Taylor Swift is in the process to become a global star, the drama around her life ceases to reduce.

Recently, she attended the intimate marriage of her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley. During the wedding, the Swifties swarmed the New Jersey location. Now, her infamous impersonator, Ashley Leechin created a similar situation in Los Angeles by pulling a prank with YouTuber Victor Galvan.
