Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ is the first album in Spotify history to be streamed more than 300 million times in a single day
Taylor Swift bared her soul on The Tortured Poets Department, which is already making history less than 24 hours after its release.
The Tortured Poets Department initially broke the record for the most-streamed album in a single day in 2024 a mere 12 hours after its drop, surpassing the likes of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter and Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine, and just kept growing. The TTPD lead single, “Fortnight ,” also made history on the streamer and is the most-streamed song in a single day.
TTPD dropped at precisely midnight on Friday, two hours before Swift surprised Us with the news that the record is actually a double album — and she had 15 more songs to share with her supporters. Swift’s latest record is primarily inspired by heartbreak based on her breakups with Joe Alwyn, whom she dated between 2016 and 2023, and Matty Healy, her brief fling the following spring. Swift also takes aim at Kim Kardashian in tracks “thanK you aIMee” and “Cassandra” over their bad blood surrounding Kanye West’s forged 2016 phone call.
