Her hit single That’s So True has become her highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 entry, marking a significant breakthrough in her career.

Teddy Swims has amassed over 8.7 billion streams globally and received a 2025 Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. His breakout single Lose Control reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the second-longest running Top 10 song in Hot 100 history with over 3 billion streams globally.
