Taylor Swift Hits Netflix’s Top 10 — But Not for the Movies You Think

Taylor Swift is trading the music streaming charts for the Netflix streaming charts in 2025.

After breaking numerous Spotify streaming records in 2024 with her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, the singer, 35, is currently dominating the Netflix streaming charts after 2012’s The Lorax broke into the Top 10 this month.

Marking the second adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ 1971 children’s book of the same name, The Lorax centers Ted (Zac Efron, a 12-year-old boy who sets out on a mission to win the girl of his dreams, Audrey (Swift) by finding that which she most desires: a Truffula tree. But doing so is no easy feat when he lives in a place virtually devoid of nature. In order to get it and secure Audrey’s heart, Ted delves into the story of the Lorax (Danny DeVito), once the gruff guardian of the forest, and the Once-ler (Ed Helms) who let greed overtake his respect for nature.

The film was directed by Chris Renaud and featured a star-studded voice cast that also included Rob Riggle, Jenny Slate, Betty White, Nasim Pedrad, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Elmarie Wendel.

While it has been well over a decade since The Lorax released in theaters, grossing $351 million worldwide against a budget of $70 million, fans are seemingly revisiting the film, which is available to stream on Netflix. The movie has been sitting in the Top 10 on Netflix Kids throughout March, and currently ranks No. 9 as of this posting. It comes ahead of fellow Dr. Seuss flick The Cat in the Hat, and only falls behind titles like The Boss Baby (No. 6), The Secret Life of Pets (No. 4), Netflix’s new original animated film Plankton: The Movie (No. 2), and Despicable Me 4 (No. 1).

The film is one of three titles currently streaming on Netflix that features the “All Too Well” singer. Miss Americana, a 2020 Netflix original documentary that tracks Swift during a transitional phase in her career, also streams on the platform, as well as the 2019 musical fantasy film Cats, based on the 1981 West End musical of the same name, is also streaming. Swift, a known cat aficionado, appeared in the film as Bombalurina alongside James Corden, Judi Dench, Jason Derulo, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen, Rebel Wilson, and Francesca Hayward.

The multi-award-winning singer may be best known for her chart-topping albums, but she has dipped her toes into acting on occasion. She previously appeared in a 2009 episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and a 2013 episode of New Girl, and also starred in movies like Valentine’s Day and The Giver. Most recently, she starred as Liz Meekins David O’Russell’s 2022 period mystery comedy thriller film Amsterdam.
