Seattle loves Taylor Swift a little more than the rest of the U.S. — at least, according to our Spotify Wrapped results.

Driving the news: Spotify just released data on the most streamed songs and artists in 2022 by geographic area. And Swift topped the list among Seattleites.

The next favorite artists among local listeners were Drake, Kanye West, The Weeknd and Bad Bunny, in that order.

Zoom out: Globally, Bad Bunny was the world's most-streamed artist in 2022, while Drake topped Swift as the most streamed nationwide.

Details: Beyoncé didn't crack the national lists (what?) but she did make an appearance on Seattle's roster of top songs.

Locals streamed "Perfect Duet (Ed Sheeran & Beyoncé)" this year more than any other track.

Our thought bubble: We prefer Queen Bey's songs from "Renaissance," but hey, to each their own.
