Taylor Swift stays at number 1 for the twelfth time and wins the Kids’ Choice Awards

Good and bad news for Taylor Swift last weekend: She contracted a virus and her piano stopped working – but she also won a number of awards and secured her first place at the Billboard cHard.

During her July 13 show in Milan, Italy, Taylor swallowed a virus during her performance of “I Almost Do” and “The Moment I Knew.” According to People, She said, “I knew it was going to happen because there are so many bugs here tonight. I’ll be OK, I just have to cough a little bit,” before continuing the show. She had previously swallowed bugs at Era’s tour shows in London and Chicago.

Then, during her July 14 show in Milan, her piano stopped working while she was playing a mashup of “Getaway Car” and “Out of the Woods.” “We finally broke this thing,” Taylor said in a fan-made TikTok. The piano was eventually repaired and she continued with the songs.

During the first Milan show, Taylor also presented three new looks: a black and gold piece, an ombre blue ensemble and a dress embellished with the lyrics of “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?”

Taylor also won Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Global Music Star and Favorite Ticket of the Year at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards on July 13. Other winners included Post Malone, Sabrina Carpenter And Olivia Rodrigo.

And, most impressively, Taylor’s album The “Tortured Poets” section took first place for the twelfth time on the Billboard 200. This makes it their longest-running album at number 1: Fearless And 1989 each reached 11 weeks at the top, surpassing the record of Whitney Houston’s second album from 1987 Whitney: It is now the only album by a woman to spend its first 12 weeks at No. 1. Whitney’s album spent its first 11 weeks at No. 1.
