Swift kicked off the year with the release of her 2024 album, 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT,' and followed it up with 'The Life of a Showgirl' in early October. Apart from her musical endeavors, Swift made headlines in late August by announcing her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. The most-played song in the St. Louis region in 2025 was "luther," a collaboration between Kendrick Lamar and St. Louis native SZA. This track also topped the charts as the most-played song in the United States on Spotify in 2025 and has maintained a presence on the 'Billboard Hot 100' charts for 46 weeks since its release on Lamar's 'GNX' album in November 2024.
