Taylor Swift is seeing a shift at the top of the charts this week. Her hit single "Opalite" officially fell from the No. 1 spot to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, according to reports from Forbes. The track recently enjoyed a massive boost from physical sales, but those numbers have cooled as streaming competition intensifies.

Despite the dip, Swift is already moving her promotional focus to her next big track. The song "Elizabeth Taylor" is currently gaining significant momentum on digital platforms. As noted by Geo News, Swift has signaled this transition through updates to her digital storefront, preparing fans for the song's official push as a lead single.

The momentum for "Elizabeth Taylor" is expected to surge again in April. Swift has scheduled a special 7-inch vinyl release for the track to coincide with Record Store Day 2026. While Swift reshuffles her lineup, WXXI News reports that country stars Megan Moroney and Ella Langley are also commanding major attention on the current charts.
