For a while, The Weeknd was the only artist to have clinched 100 million monthly Spotify listeners. Now, he is joined by Taylor Swift – who just can’t seem to stop breaking records.

To help celebrate Swift’s milestone, The Weeknd shared a congratulatory post to his Instagram story, featuring a photo of both artists at Swift’s 1989 Tour when Swift brought the “Can’t Feel My Face” singer out on stage as a special guest in 2015.
The Weeknd added a finger-crossed emoji – presumably to convey that he and Swift are close friends – for a personal touch. Check out the post, below.
Swift hit the 100 million mark earlier this week. She is the first woman to achieve that goal.
“Queen behavior,” Spotify wrote on Twitter. “On August 29th, Taylor Swift became the first female artist in Spotify history to reach 100 million monthly listeners.”
Swift has broken many records this year. Her Eras Tour is projected to become the highest-grossing tour of all time, pulling in $2.2 billion.

Elsewhere she scored her 12th No. 1 song on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart with “Cruel Summer.” The Lover track was dusted off as a single earlier this year in light of the fans’ reaction towards it at the Eras Tour.
Meanwhile, the re-recorded version of Speak Now broke two Spotify records: the most streamed album in a single day and the most streamed country album in a single day.
Swift is on a hot streak going into the international legs of her Eras Tour, which are proving to be just as high in demand as the U.S. dates. If you didn’t get a chance to catch Swift this time around, fear not, because a feature film version of the tour will be released in October.
