Even a major Taylor Swift achievement can’t compete with Travis Kelce’s wedding frenzy.
While millions of fans are eagerly waiting to see their favourite pop icon walking down the aisle and getting married to the Kansas City Chiefs key player, the 14-time Grammy winner’s own musical achievements have been lost somewhere in the plethora of wedding news.
On Friday, February 27, Opalite, the second single from Swift’s 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl, was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI.).
The second single from the latest album was released on January 12, has been certified multi-platinum in Canada, and platinum in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
hitting Platinum in the UK within just weeks of release is a massive achievement. For context, most hits take months or even years to reach the 600,000 unit threshold required by the BPI.
This rapid certification coincided with the song reaching #1 in the UK, making it her first chart-topper from the Showgirl era in that region.
This milestone came just weeks after the release of Opalite song’s star-studded music video on February 6, featuring celebrity cameos, including Cillian Murphy, Domhnall Gleeson, and Lewis Capaldi, and was partially filmed at the Whitgift Centre in Croydon
