Taylor Swift was Spotify’s most-streamed artist in 2023. Here’s how to see Spotify Wrapped
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — It’s been anything but a cruel summer — or year — for Taylor Swift.
Spotify Wrapped revealed Wednesday that Swift was the most-streamed artist globally in 2023, checking in with more than 26.1 billion streams since Jan. 1.
Rounding out the top five are Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, Drake and Peso Pluma.
Swift’s songs “Cruel Summer” and “Anti-Hero” came in as the sixth and 10th most-streamed songs globally, respectively. Her album “Lover,” was the seventh most streamed album.
It’s been quite the year for the Berks County native.
Swift’s Eras Tour broke records, then the movie release broke AMC Theatres presale records — the film will be available to rent on demand beginning Dec. 13. She released two re-recorded albums — “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” and “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).”
The Year of Swift didn’t just take over the music world — Swift entered the sports sphere by entering a relationship with Travis Kelce, the brother of Eagles legend Jason Kelce.
How to see Spotify wrapped 2023
If you want to see how much Swift — or other artists — you listened to this year, here’s how to access your Spotify Wrapped.
It’s the time of the year where Spotify users get to see what artists they spent the most time with over the past year — but there’s a new wrinkle for 2023. Spotify Wrapped will not be limited to just the mobile app for iOS and Android.
Spotify said Wednesday that this year’s Wrapped will be available for the first time online at Spotify.com/Wrapped.
Users on their phone should see an option on the top menu on the Spotify app that says “Wrapped” — it should be the last option on the menu where it says “all,” music,” podcasts” and “audiobooks.”
Mobile users can also access Wrapped via the search section of the app — or even on the home screen. When users open the app, there will be a badge saying “Your 2023 Wrapped,” with a subtitle saying “Unwrap your listening highlights.”

NEW YORK — Former New York Gov. David Paterson and his stepson were attacked in New York City on Friday night, authorities said.
The incident occurred just before 9 p.m. on Second Avenue near East 96th Street on the Upper East Side, according to the New York City Police Department.
Police said officers were sent to the scene after an assault was reported. When officers arrived, police say they found a 20-year-old man suffering from facial injuries and a 70-year-old man who had head pain. Both victims were taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the former governor said the two were attacked while “taking a walk around the block near their home by some individuals that had a previous interaction with his stepson.”
The spokesperson said that they were injured “but were able to fight off their attackers.”
Both were taken to Cornell Hospital “as a precaution,” he added.
Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
The 70-year-old Paterson, a Democrat, served as governor from 2008 to 2010, stepping into the post after the resignation of Eliot Spitzer following his prostitution scandal. He made history at the time as the state’s first-ever Black and legally blind governor.

A 17-year-old boy was critically injured and a person is in custody after a gunman opened fire on a SEPTA bus in North Philadelphia Friday evening, police said.
At around 6:15 p.m., Philadelphia police were notified about a shooting on a SEPTA bus traveling on Allegheny Avenue near 3rd and 4th streets in North Philadelphia, Inspector D F Pace told CBS News Philadelphia.
There were an estimated 30 people on the bus at the time of the shooting, Pace said, but only the 17-year-old boy was believed to have been shot. Investigators said they believe it was a targeted attack on the teenager and that he was shot in the back of the bus at close range.
According to Pace, the SEPTA bus driver alerted a control center about the shooting, which then relayed the message to Philadelphia police, who responded to the scene shortly.
Officers arrived at the scene and found at least one spent shell casing and blood on the bus, but no shooting victim, Pace said. Investigators later discovered the 17-year-old had been taken to Temple University Hospital where he is said to be in critical condition, according to police.

Through their preliminary investigation, police learned those involved in the SEPTA shooting may have fled in a silver-colored Kia.
Authorities then found a car matching the description of the Kia speeding in the area and a pursuit began, Pace said. Police got help from a PPD helicopter as they followed the Kia, which ended up crashing at 5th and Greenwood streets in East Mount Airy. Pace said the Kia crashed into a parked car.
The driver of the crashed car ran away but police were still able to take them into custody, Pace said.
Investigators believe there was a second person involved in the shooting who ran from the car before it crashed. Police said they believe this person escaped near Allegheny Avenue and 4th Street, leaving a coat behind.
According to Pace, police also found a gun and a group of spent shell casings believed to be involved in the shooting in the same area.
“It’s very possible that there may have been a shooting inside the bus and also shots fired from outside of the bus toward the bus,” Pace said, “We’re still trying to piece all that together at this time.”
This is an active investigation and police are reviewing surveillance footage from the SEPTA bus.
