Taylor Swift gets early birthday gift with historic Golden Globe nomination amid groundbreaking year

May 2024 · 3 minute read

The "Cruel Summer" singer has had a milestone year since embarking on her Eras Tour

It's hard to escape Taylor Swift these days (no complaints here!), between her Eras Tour extravaganza, her headline-making romance with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, being branded TIME's Person of the Year for 2024, and much more.

This year, the "Is It Over Now?" singer's achievements have well surpassed her own industry, most recently proven so by the 2024 Golden Globe nominations announced on December 11.

Now, while it's not the first time the Grammy-winning artist has received a nod from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, her fifth and latest nomination is a new milestone in more ways than one.

Her film – which premiered in October and has already reportedly become the highest-grossing concert film of all time with approximately $250 million in sales – was nominated for the category, which is brand new to this year's awards.
