During the Prime Day Concert presented by Amazon Music, fans will witness a lineup of chart-topping artists, and special moments including:
Taylor Swift will bring members the best seat in the house with a dynamic set, including her brand-new chart-topping singles “You Need To Calm Down” and “ME!,” which broke records earlier this year as the top single debut of any song in the history of Amazon Music. “ME!” also broke voice records with Alexa on Amazon Music, becoming the most requested single ever on the streaming service. A singer, songwriter, musician and producer, Swift is the only artist in history to have four consecutive albums sell over one million copies in their week of release (2010’s Speak Now, 2012’s Red, 2014’s 1989 and 2017’s Reputation). She is the youngest person in history to win the music industry’s highest honor, the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and is the first female solo artist to win this prestigious award twice. Rolling Stone listed Taylor as one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time. Time magazine featured Taylor on their prestigious 2017 Person of the Year cover, and has named her TIME 100 Most Influential People in the world three times and is only 29 years old. Taylor is also a Brit and Emmy award winner and Billboard’s youngest-ever Woman of the Year and the only artist to have been awarded this honor twice.
Announced this week, this year’s Prime Day starts at midnight PT on Monday, July 15th and – for the first time ever – runs for 48 hours, offering members two full days to uncover the best in shopping and entertainment from Amazon Prime. Every day leading up to Prime Day, members will discover all kinds of exclusive offers and deals – now through June 30th.
