Spotify announced that Taylor Swift's latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department," shattered the record for most streams in a single day.

The pop icon also claimed the title of the most-streamed artist for a day. Released on Friday, the highly anticipated album sparked excitement among Swift's devoted fan base worldwide.

Featuring 31 tracks, the album delves into Swift's emotions, particularly her heartbreak and frustrations with past relationships.

While the initial 16 tracks debuted as planned at 5 am UK time, an additional 15 tracks surprised fans shortly after, creating a whirlwind for both fans and music journalists.

Swift described the album as a collection of new compositions capturing "events, opinions, and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure." She emphasized closure and moving on, stating, "The chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed...

Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it." Swift unveiled her 11th studio album during a live announcement at the Grammy Awards in February.

It contains tracks including So Long, London, which is widely thought to be about her ex-partner, British actor Joe Alwyn. Swift, who was with Alwyn for six years, had previously moved to London where he was living.

Another track, But Daddy I Love Him, is also thought to address the discourse that surrounded Swift's reported-but-never-confirmed romance with The 1975's lead singer Matty Healy, last year.

We're bringing up Taylor Swift's history: from dizzying Grammy records to reaching billionaire status and everything in between.

The record follows the hugely successful Midnights, which sold 1.6 million copies in its first week in the US two years ago.

It featured the singles Anti-Hero, Bejeweled and Karma, and went on to win album of the year at the Grammys - making Swift the first person to win the award four times.

The arrival of a new album sent shockwaves through her loyal fanbase as it means there will be new material to add to the star's blockbuster Eras tour, which hits Europe this summer.

Swift revisits each of her previous 10 albums at the concerts, which already run for over three hours.

Her album comes hot on the heels of a busy year for the star, who was also declared a billionaire by Forbes magazine earlier this month.

Breaking record and winning Grammy Awards.
One of the best Artiste of all time.
Lovely of her.
