Taylor Swift's “Style” Surpasses 800 Million Streams on Spotify

Taylor Swift's song “Style” has surpassed 800 million views streams on Spotify, according to the profile Tracklist on Twitter. “Style” is part of “1989”, Taylor Swift's fifth studio album, and is rumored to have been written for Harry Styles, the singer's ex-boyfriend and former member of One Direction.

The suspicion comes from the part in which Taylor describes her loved one in the song “You got that long slicked back hair, white t-shirt“. In the song, Swift opens up about a breakup she wished hadn't happened, stating that they “never go out of style” (never go out of style). Furthermore, another important factor that may reinforce speculation is the passage in which she says: “and when we're done, we come back every times”.

Not stopping there, the biggest reference is in the similarity of the surname “Styles” and the term “Style”. In fact, Harry Styles had already commented in an interview on “The Howard Stern Show” about the possible dedications.

According to the owner of the hit “Watermelon Sugar”, the fact that Taylor used the story of the two as inspiration for her songs made him feel flattered: “I think about what it means to me to write a song about someone else, and if someone has to do that, I think it's flattering.“.

And he continued: “Even if the song isn't that flattering, you still spent time on it, and ultimately, using Taylor as an example, she's a great songwriter. So at least they're good songs.“.

Taylor's arrival in Brazil

Two months ago, the announcement of the singer's concert generated a great deal of excitement among fans. After tickets for the shows announced in November in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro sold out, new dates had to be announced for those who were unable to attend.

In this way, the swifties were able to celebrate with a total of six shows by Taylor in Brazil. As a special guest at all of her shows, there will also be singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter, known mainly for the films “Imperfect Dancer” and “The Babysitter Adventure”, as well as the Disney series “Girl Meets World”, in which she plays Maya.

It is worth mentioning that Taylor Swift was supposed to come to Brazil in 2020 with her “Lover” tour, however, the COVID-19 pandemic was the factor responsible for the cancellation. Later this year, speculations about the singer's possible visit to Brazil had already been circulating, mainly on the social network Twitter (as it was previously known).

In addition to the Argentine newspaper “El Dia”, José Norberto Flesch, who announces shows by major artists in Brazil, had confirmed that the singer would come and that the details were still being defined.

Taylor's Recognition in the US Economy

Not content with moving fans and becoming trending topics, the owner of “Bad Blood“also moves the economy of the United States. On the 12th of last month (July) Taylor was recognized by the North American Central Bank after performing a show in Philadelphia.
