Taylor Swift has once again solidified her status as a music industry powerhouse with the release of her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” The album, which was highly anticipated by fans, has shattered records on Spotify by exceeding 200 million streams in a single day.
This impressive feat marks the third time that Swift has held the record for the most streamed album in a single day on the streaming platform, with her previous records being set by “Midnights” and “1989 (Taylor’s Version).” In addition to this milestone, Swift has also now become the most streamed artist in a single day on Spotify, surpassing her own previous record from last year.
Before the official release of “Poets,” Swift’s album had already gained significant traction as the most pre-saved Countdown Page in Spotify history. The album was initially planned to have 16 tracks, including guest appearances from popular artists such as Post Malone and Florence + the Machine. However, Swift surprised her fans by dropping an additional 15 songs shortly after the album’s release, bringing the total track count to 31.
Taking to Instagram, Swift shared with her followers that she had written an abundance of poetry over the past two years and felt compelled to share it all with her fans through the album. The overwhelming response from listeners has proven that her decision to include the additional tracks was a welcome surprise.
“The Tortured Poets Department” has not only cemented Taylor Swift’s reputation as a chart-topping artist but has also showcased her evolution as a prolific songwriter and storyteller. With her unwavering dedication to her craft, Swift continues to captivate audiences around the world with her musical talents and creative vision.
