VIDEO: Taylor Swift’s new single Fortnight breaks record for Spotify’s most streamed song in a single day

Taylor Swift’s latest release, The Tortured Poets Department, is continuing to make waves amid its anticipated release.

On Saturday Spotify announced that the 34-year-old’s track Fortnight, featuring Post Malone, became its most streamed song in a single day.

The streaming platform shared the news in a post on X that read: ‘On April 19th, 2024, Taylor Swift’s ‘Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)’ became Spotify’s most-streamed song in a single day.’

Swift premiered the elaborate Fortnight music video along with the new album.

It comes after the double album surpassed Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter for biggest debut for a 2024 album.

Taylor took to Instagram on Friday to share a series of behind-the-scenes images from the Fortnight visual.

And she shared a lengthy message with her fans about the meaning behind it.

The star wrote, ‘When I was writing the Fortnight music video, I wanted to show you the worlds I saw in my head that served as the backdrop for making this music.’

She added, ‘Pretty much everything in it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner of the album or another.

‘For me, this video turned out to be the perfect visual representation of this record and the stories I tell in it.’

She gushed about her collaborator, ‘@postmalone blew me away on set as our tortured tragic hero and I’m so grateful to him for everything he put into this collaboration.’

‘I’m still laughing from getting to work with the coolest guys on earth, @ethanhawke and @mrjoshcharles (tortured poets, meet your colleagues from down the hall, the dead poets),’ the songstress shared in reference to the 1989 film Dead Poets Society.

‘I still can’t believe I get to work with the unfathomably brilliant @rpstam on cinematography and my team of dream collaborators,’ she wrote before listing the video’s full crew of creators.
