Famed singer Taylor Swift has added another achievement to her cap as she is being announced Songwriter Of The Year at the second Apple Music Awards.

Taylor Swift has launched a surprise 2020 album Folklore that debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, making her the first female artist to have seven consecutive number-one albums in the US.

Folklore also holds the title of the first 2020 album to sell more than one million copies.

“Winning Songwriter of the Year in any capacity in any year would be so exciting, but I think it’s really special because this particular year was a year where I really feel like songwriting was the one thing that was able to keep me connected to fans that I wasn’t able to see in concert,” said Swift in an acceptance speech.

Swift went on to thank her fans for keeping her going through this tough year. “My songwriting, and the way that fans respond to the songs I write, and that kind of emotional exchange is what I feel like has really kept me going this year. And I really want to say thank you to the fans for that,” she said.

Song Folklore was written and recorded during the quarantine period.

The album had also bagged People’s Choice Awards, nominating the singer in three award categories: Female Artist of 2020, Album of 2020 for Folklore, and Soundtrack Song of 2020 for Only the Young on Miss Americana.

American singer Taylor Swift’s surprise album ‘Folklore’ sold more than 1.3 million copies globally in just 24 hours.

The singer previously topped the album charts with last year’s record Lover, Reputation in 2017, 1989 in 2014 and Red in 2012.

According to the Official Charts update, Swift’s eighth studio album outperformed the rest of the top five combined, and was the most downloaded and streamed album over the weekend.

It is solely available in digital formats until it gets a physical release later in the year.

The pop superstar announced the album on Thursday, revealing it had been recorded during lockdown, and it was released in the early hours of Friday morning.

However, Taylor Swift said now felt like the right time to release Folklore.

She said: “My gut is telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with.”
