Her albums Speak Now, Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights contributed 47 more weeks to her peak chart position after that.

Taylor has also made history because of her re-recorded albums as she added 10 more No. 1 hits to her list with Fearless (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version), Speak Now (Taylor's Version), and 1989 (Taylor's Version).

Moreover, the Grammy winner created history last month when she tied Drake for the most number of Billboard Music Awards ever when she won ten of the BBMAs during the ceremony on November 19.
