Eh she's 14th western artist overall, and she was 8th back in 2019 as MJD shown here.
So she decreased since then. She was 2nd behind Selena, but now Sia and Camila are bigger than her too. So how is her discography bigger than theirs?
Folklore, Evermore plus all her country albums flopped in India. They are only interested in pop.
Sure, she's doing OK there, but she's nowhere near as big as some people try to make her be in India. Justin Bieber is 10x as big as her based on streams in India for example, but nobody talks about it.
Spotify has exploded in India and is now its 2nd or 3rd market moving the most streams.
"Spotify led India’s music and audio streaming market in FY23 with a 26 per cent share (ahead of Reliance's JioSaavn, Airtel's Wynk, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Prime Music, Gaana, and others), according to a new study by Redseer. The Swedish audio-streaming major is said to have played a crucial role in bringing in first-time listeners in the age group of 15 to 30 to the Indian OTT audio market. " -- Business Today's India Branch, article dated 4/23.
Taylor was surpassed on Gaana sure, but Gaana is increasingly losing relevance, especially for Western Acts, there is a reason big Western songs in the country now get a fraction of the ones the big hits from the mid 2010s did.
And looking at the top western acts on Spotify India:
#22 The Weekend
#41 Taylor Swift
#81 Justin Bieber
#83 Ed Sheeran
#102 Eminem
#114 Selena Gomez
#122 Alan Walker
#127 Charlie Puth
You keep making points that don't look at the market as a whole and don't look at where the market is heading.
That user constantly picks and chooses data to use against Taylor. A lot of coping from him.

So I guess Justin is in fact, not 10x bigger than her
And isn't it easier, at the same time, to have higher sales per album when you have fewer albums? Taylor's fans (and the general public, for that matter) are dividing their streams and sales into 10 albums. By the way, having 10 albums in 17 years of career is nothing crazy.
When Rihanna cared about music she was essentially releasing albums yearly, Nicki used to drop dozens (not a joke) of songs each year, Frank Sinatra has over 2,000 releases including, LPs, EPS, live albums, compilations, box sets, etc. I'm sure if this users faves had such immense demand they would be releasing as frequently as well.
You know that artists such as the Beatles, Elvis, Sinatra and many others of the old league have released much more material for consumers than Taylor? Their totals include limited editions, anniversary editions, remastered editions, box sets, christmas edition,...

This is blatant misinformation and anyone with a brain would know so. That's very embarrasing
It's obvious you're an incoming troll once more, can someone ban this person?
That just proves taylor is bigger now, but in the past before spotify took over Justin was much bigger and this is shown on Gaana. You can't just delete the past and focus on a recent year lol. That's biased and ignorant of you.
Justin also more streams in Japan and south Korea than Taylor. He has over 600m streams in Japan. How do you explain that?
Literally nobody here has ever claimed Taylor is bigger or has more streams than Justin Bieber in Japan or South Korea. We also don't have total streams from Taylor in Japan so this comparison is useless and obviously just another trolling attempt from your part.
Taylor fans claim she is the biggest in Asia by FAR too bad her streams don't add up.
Her most popular song in Japan only has 50 million steams which is gold.
