After just 1 day of releasing her new album, Taylor Swift has set records that are not the best, only better!

And indeed, even though Taylor Swift’s latest album may face conflicting opinions about its quality, the indicators that The Tortured Poets Department set easily make the audience surprised, bewildered, and stunned. .
After only 1 day of release, the album The Tortured Poets Department sold more than 1.6 million copies (including 1.4 million pure copies), an extremely impressive number. The current record remains Adele’s 25th with 3.378 million copies sold in its first week of release.

It only took Taylor Swift one day to bring in double the sales of Beyoncé and Ariana Grande combined.
