Global pop icon Taylor Swift has shattered multiple streaming records in 2024, most notably with her album “THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT,” which amassed an unprecedented 313.7 million Spotify streams on its first day of release on April 19, 2024. This remarkable achievement nearly doubled the first-day streaming numbers of her previous record-holder “Midnights,” which garnered 184.6 million streams upon its October 2022 release, firmly establishing Swift’s dominance in the digital music landscape.
Taylor Swift’s TTPD obliterated streaming records with 313.7 million first-day Spotify plays, cementing her digital music supremacy.
The superstar now holds the distinction of occupying the top three positions for most-streamed albums in a single day on Spotify, with four of her albums ranking in the platform’s top ten most-streamed first-day releases. For perspective, Beyoncé‘s “COWBOY CARTER,” another major 2024 release, achieved 76.1 million first-day streams—an impressive figure that nonetheless falls far short of Swift’s record-breaking numbers.
Swift’s streaming prowess continued unabated throughout 2025, as she surpassed 11 billion Spotify streams in just 226 days without releasing any new music during that period. This achievement underscores the remarkable staying power of her existing catalog, which continues to resonate with listeners worldwide.
She maintains her status as the highest-streaming female artist in the United States, accumulating over 5.3 billion streams in 2025 alone. Her achievement is particularly noteworthy as she has become one of the few female artists to reach such astronomical streaming figures in such a short timeframe. The success of Swift’s albums demonstrates how devoted fan bases significantly contribute to breaking streaming records across all platforms.
Individual tracks from Swift’s extensive discography have also achieved notable streaming milestones. Songs like “Bad Blood,” “The Very First Night (Taylor’s Version),” and “The Joker And The Queen” featuring Ed Sheeran each exceed 200 million streams. Her re-recorded tracks demonstrate particularly strong performance, with “Shake It Off (Taylor’s Version)” surpassing 203 million streams. These impressive streaming figures translate directly into substantial royalty income for Swift, demonstrating the financial potential of digital music platforms.
Swift’s album “Lover” exemplifies her longevity, amassing over 13 billion total streams and maintaining an average daily stream count exceeding 6 million. Her strategic approach of re-recording earlier works has further bolstered her streaming figures, creating multiple avenues for fan engagement. Swift has expertly utilized playlist pitching strategies across platforms to ensure her music maintains visibility among both existing fans and potential new listeners.
Industry analysts note that Swift’s releases consistently generate immediate streaming spikes that serve as benchmarks for the entire music industry, with social media buzz directly correlating to these peak streaming periods.
