Taylor Swift is the artist with the highest number of followers on Spotify as a result of her groundbreaking achievements. She outpaced and kept her follower number growing steadily after Ed Sheeran. The best and most reliable way to view the current stats is to refer to the artist's official Spotify profile. Additionally, you can check the very frequently updated pages, such as Chartmasters, Kworb, and Wikipedia, or the Spotify data tracking pages like SpotifyCharts for the latest rankings.
