Taylor Swift really is in a league of her own. Her only competition? Herself.

With the release of 1989 (Taylor's Version) on Friday, Swift became the most-streamed artist in a single day in Spotify history, breaking a record that she herself set when Midnights came out last October.

1989 (Taylor’s Version), the fourth in Swift's series of re-recorded albums, also became Spotify's most-streamed album in a single day in 2023 so far – another record that Swift previously held for Speak Now (Taylor's Version).

In addition to new recordings of the tracks from the original 2014 album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) includes five “vault tracks,” unreleased songs from the same era that didn’t make the initial cut.

Swift recently became a billionaire thanks to her Eras Tour and the accompanying film, as well as the continued success with re-recordings of her old albums.
