00:00Taylor Swift has already shattered a major streaming record with her new album, The Life
00:04of a Showgirl. Swift released her much-anticipated 12th album on Friday, and not even 12 hours after
00:11its midnight drop, it already has the most single-day streams on Spotify in 2025 so far,
00:17according to the platform. The album's track list includes songs like Opalite,
00:21Cancelled, and Elizabeth Taylor.
00:22This news comes after Spotify confirmed earlier this week that The Life of a Showgirl had already
00:32beaten the platform's record for most pre-saves for an album, topping 5 million. Spotify has yet
00:38to share any specific numbers on how many millions of streams The Life of a Showgirl has amassed,
00:42though we'll likely get a better picture later today and over the next few days.
00:46Streaming, of course, won't tell the whole story for Swift's numbers, as she'll likely drive
00:50millions of traditional album sales on CD and vinyl as well. The music video for the album's
00:55lead single, The Fate of Ophelia, will screen exclusively in movie theaters as part of a
00:59special release party over the weekend, before hitting YouTube on Sunday.
01:09Last year's The Tortured Poets department opened with a massive 2.61 million units,
01:15of which physical sales counted for 1.9 million per billboard.
