Taylor Swift has done it again. With The Tortured Poets Department dropping at midnight as Thursday turned into Friday, Swift set several new streaming records on Spotify.
Swift surprised fans when she released 15 more songs just two hours after the 16-song album hit. The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology totaled 31 songs and just over two hours of new music.
The Tortured Poets Department was the first album on Spotify to hit over 300 million streams in one day, with the album becoming the most-streamed in a single day and Swift the most-streamed artist in a single day.
