In a phenomenal feat, Taylor Swift's latest album 'The Tortured Poets Department' which dropped on Spotify on April 19, claimed the title of the most-streamed album in a single day in the audio streaming platforms history.

The milestone adds another feather to the 'Florida!!!' singer’s career. The American singer-songwriter now boasts the top three spots for the most-streamed albums in a single day on Spotify. Leading the charge is "The Tortured Poets Department", followed by "Midnights" and "1989 (Taylor’s Version)."

The 34-year-old has now solidified her status as the most-streamed artist in a single day on Spotify with the release of her latest musical offering.




After almost a decade of making their friendship public, Swift and British indie powerhouse Florence Welch joined forces. The two singers who made heartbreaks and heartaches,  relatable and borderline desirable, came together for a song that will be remembered for ages to come.
