Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, has taken the music industry by storm, exceeding all expectations and breaking multiple records in its first week of release.
The album has soared to Number One on the Billboard 200 albums chart, solidifying Swift’s status as one of the most successful solo artists of all time. This achievement also ties her with Jay-Z for the most Number One records by a solo artist.
But the success doesn’t stop there – The Tortured Poets Department has shattered records for the largest number of streams in a week for an album since 2014, indicating the incredible demand for Swift’s new music. Additionally, the album has seen a high number of vinyl sales, proving that physical copies still hold a special place in fans’ hearts.
In response to the overwhelming support, Swift took to social media to express her gratitude and disbelief at the album’s success, stating that she is “completely floored” by the love shown for the album. The singer also shared behind-the-scenes photos of the album process, including snapshots with fellow musicians Post Malone and Florence Welch.
Despite the monumental achievement, Swift remains humble and focused on the future. She promised her fans to return to work after a well-deserved two-month break and expressed her anticipation for the upcoming tour, set to kick off on May 9th.
In her message to fans, Swift thanked them for listening, streaming, and embracing The Tortured Poets Department, describing herself as “completely overwhelmed” by the album’s success. As she gears up for the tour, Swift’s fans can expect nothing short of a spectacular performance from the multi-talented artist.
