The buzz just does not seem to die for 'The Tortured Poets Department'. It has been over a week since the album's release, and the record-breaking frenzy shows no signs of slowing down. Despite taking a break from her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift is working tirelessly to push and promote her latest double album, which dropped bright and early on April 18. Later that day, she teased its lead single, 'Fortnight', and dropped its first music video. 

All that hard work paid off big time, as Spotify just revealed that the music mogul has blown their records in just one week with the lead single of 'The Tortured Poets Department'. 

Taylor Swift's album started off strong with a collaboration with Post Malone, 'Fortnight', which is also the lead single of the album. And it has just been revealed that the track debuted with 102.9 million streams on Global Spotify in its first week. ‘Fortnight’ is one of the most popular tracks from the entire collection. But it is not just ‘Fortnight’, in less than half a day, the album also made history as Spotify's most-streamed album in a single day with 300 million streams. 

With her 11th studio album, the pop star outdid herself and set a new record as the most-streamed artist in a single day on Spotify, beating her previous record with '1989 (Taylor's Version)' back in October 2023. Then, on April 22, it became Spotify's most-streamed album in a single week, crossing the 1 billion streams mark since its debut. With such a record-breaking reception, fans are speculating if the album will get a nod in the upcoming Eras Tour shows across Europe as well. 

Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ Leaves Fans in Dismay Over Average Ratings

As Taylor Swift gets set to hit the Eras Tour once more after a well-deserved break, the big question on everyone's mind is what changes 'The Tortured Poets Department' will bring to the setlist.

YouTube Shorts surfaced a video in which Taylor Swift was seen rehearsing some unseen choreography. The video also featured background dancers who donned unique costumes, including top hats and canes, that were never seen before on the tour. All this led to speculations that the songstress was bringing something new for her Europe shows and planning a surprise. 

Even David Cook, Swift's music director, dropped a tantalizing hint on Friday via Instagram. He shared a post to give a shout-out to the latest album with a cryptic caption. He wrote, "Not sure how much I can add to the discourse other than this album is really REALLY good", and added, "You FEEL it”. However, turned out, the caption was longer initially and a part of it was removed by Cook. The deleted part stated, “Wait until you hear the live versions". All these subtle clues are fanning the anticipation to have the new record-breaking album featured on the Eras Tour.
