Taylor returned to the country charts last year after she re-recorded new versions of her 'Fearless' and 'Red' albums.
'Red (Taylor's Version)' broke several records when it was released in November 2021. Twenty-six songs from the album simultaneously charted on the Billboard Hot 100.
The album helped Taylor claim her 10th number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Taylor is hot on the heels of another album record.
Barbra Streisand currently holds the record with 11 number one albums.
