Of course, we mostly care about the most-searched singers and musicians that made the list. There were some unsurprising results such as Taylor Swift being the most searched songwriter and Beyoncé being the most searched performance. The video below includes footage of Swift and fans from the Eras Tour as well as Beyoncé performing her iconic Beychella set and "The Mute Challenge" from the Renaissance tour. BTS also came out as the most-searched boy band and the most-searched girl band went to BLACKPINK.
