The singer-songwriter has previously broken records on Spotify, becoming the first female artist on the music listening service to reach 100 million listeners in one month in August 2023.
Taylor Swift’s “Midnights” reached number 1 on both sides of the Atlantic and was the most streamed album in the UK for 2023.

“Midnights” also broke records as the album with the most plays in one day in the platform’s history when it was released in October 2022.
“The Tortured Poets Department,” her 11th album, features collaborations with Florence And The Machine and Post Malone, and the song titles and lyrics seem to reference her former bandmates.
