The world's most streamed music artist of all time is reportedly the first choice to feature on Barcelona's shirts in May's El Clasico.

Taylor Swift is on the brink of making history in the football world.

Reports suggest the world’s richest female musician is set to feature on Barcelona’s jersey for the upcoming El Clásico against Real Madrid.

The 35-year-old global superstar is said to have edged out heavyweights like Ed Sheeran and rapper Travis Scott to secure the coveted spot, as Barcelona prepares for a high-stakes showdown against their fiercest rivals on 11 May.

According to Spanish outlet RAC1 via Daily Record, negotiations are at an advanced stage, with only a few final details left before an agreement is sealed. 

“Taylor Swift is the top choice to be the artist on the Barcelona shirt during the May Clásico,” the outlet quoted as having said.

 “The agreement is pending, only the final touches. There have been several names on the table, such as Ed Sheeran and rapper Travis Scott.”

This collaboration follows a growing trend under Barcelona’s partnership with Spotify, which has seen global icons like Drake, Rosalía, The Rolling Stones, and Karol G grace the club’s iconic kit.

A swift boost for Barcelona?

Barcelona will be hoping Swift brings them luck in what could be a title-deciding encounter at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

The timing is particularly significant, as the billionaire singer and songwriter performed at Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium nearly a year ago during her record-breaking Eras Tour.

Swift, who is also making waves in the sports world due to her high-profile romance with Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce, would undoubtedly bring unprecedented global attention to El Clásico.

With millions of dedicated “Swifties” worldwide, Barcelona’s decision to feature her name could be a game-changer; not just on the pitch, but in the commercial world too.

Swift holds the crown as the most streamed solo female musician of all time in the digital era, as per Chart Masters.

Her songs were streamed over 92 billion times up to that day. 

The second most streamed artist was Drake with more than 80 billion streams until then.
