The only person, it seems, who can break a Taylor Swift record, appears to be Taylor Swift.
The newly crowned billionaire, 33, broke her own Spotify record for the most-streamed artist in a single day, according to a post by the streaming service on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The hitmaker released her re-recoded album 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on Friday.
Not only did she tally more plays of the LP, than any other artist, but it also set a 2023 record as Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day so far this year, according to Variety.
She set the record just over a year ago with the release of her album Midnights.
Spotify did not release the exact numbers, however, it did reveal that the new vault track S**t! (Taylor’s Version) made its US debut at Number one with 5.2 million streams.
Globally, that number was 11.3 million.
On the global chart, the singer’s non-vault track, Style, did even better with 11.6 million streams.
The singer, who is getting ready to return to the road on her Eras tour hasn’t made any comment about the 1989 (Taylor’s Version) success.
She did, however, thank fellow artist Kendrick Lamar on Instagram for agreeing to re-record the Bad Blood re-mix on the new release.
‘Watching @kenricklamar create and record his verses on the Bad Blood remix was one of the most inspiring experiences of my life,’ she penned.
‘I still look back on this collaboration with so much pride and gratitude, for the ways Kendrick elevated the song and the way he treats everyone around him.’
‘Every time the crowds on The Eras Tour would chant his line “you forgive, you forget, but you never let it… go!,” I smiled. The reality that Kendrick would go back in and re-record Bad Blood so that I could reclaim and own this work I’m so proud of is surreal and bewildering to me.’
‘I’m overjoyed to say that the Bad Blood Remix (featuring Kendrick Lamar) is available everywhere on the 1989 Deluxe Edition,’ she concluded.
On Spotify’s daily U.S. top 50 ranking, all 21 songs from the new 1989 album took over the top 21 spots, with the Bad Blood Remix occupying 23rd place.
Drake’s IDGAF landed in 22nd.
Cruel Summer, from her 2019 album Lover was in 25th place as of Saturday afternoon, giving the superstar 23 of the top 25 hits on Spotify.
Additionally, Cruel Summer hit number one Friday on the Billboard Hot 100.
After two weeks at the top of the box office Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour movie was still going strong, but likely to lose the top spot to the spooky Halloween themed Five Nights at Freddie’s.
The 15-day total, according to Box Office Mojo is $139,444,861.
The Eras tour will close out its 2023 run beginning November 9 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and go through November 26 in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
Sunday was expected to be the first time the Anti-Hero singer was not in attendance at a Kansas City Chiefs game to watch her new beau Travis Kelce, 34, take the field.
Her attendance over the past month has boosted NFL ratings, but its unclear what will happen when she’s not in a sky box for cutaway shots.
