Swift, 32, has an impressive collection of albums including nine original studio albums, five EP's and three live albums. Swift returned to the top of the charts twice in 2021 alone after re-recording two of her earlier albums, Fearless (Taylor's Version), and Red (Taylor's Version).
Fearless (Taylor's Version) spent three weeks at the number one spot on the albums chart, while Red (Taylor's Version) remains at No. 1 in its seventh week.
After releasing several pop albums beginning in 2014, with 1989, Swift's albums have not made an appearance on the Billboard's Country Albums Chart since the original recording of Red in 2012.
While Swift is now the female artist with the most weeks spent at No. 1 on the chart, Garth Brooks still holds the all-time record with 169 weeks.
