Can somebody explain this to me? How in the world is this possible with all the Taylor Swift exposure or other young artists from the streaming generation?

Some of her songs went viral progressively, among demographics that were not part of her main audience. Gen-Z girls started streaming her because of the Wednesday edits, and straight men found her music through the Jujutsu Kaisen edits. 

Judas is now featured in actual "workout" playlists for gym bros. The power of TikTok cannot be underestimated, it literally gave a career to people like Doja Cat, it isn't surprising to me that someone like GaGa managed to benefit from it, eventually.

For perspective... She had 5.6 million listeners July 2016 and was 160th in the world on Spotify!

Also she had 54-56 million monthly listeners just before the release of DWAS so it shows the importance of a hit song.
