This was Taylor Swift's weekend, and don't you forget it. Here are more ways she's dominating the known universe:
1. Within 12 hours of its release, "The Life of a Showgirl" had been streamed more than any other album on Spotify this year. And the song "The Fate of Ophelia" became the most-streamed song in a single day in Spotify HISTORY.
"Showgirl" also broke the 2025 single-day streaming record on Apple Music, and over at Amazon, it's now the most-streamed album EVER in a single day.
The album sold 2.7 million copies on Day One, so it's gonna be a good week for her.
2. Taylor also dominated the box office. Her "Life of a Showgirl" album release "event" raked in $33 million in theaters this weekend. "The Smashing Machine", a new movie starring The Rock, only made $6 million.
3. Check out the video for "The Fate of Ophelia."
4. Taylor will NOT be going out on tour anytime soon. She says, quote, "I am so tired, like when I think about doing it again."
5. A lot of people are less than impressed by Taylor's lyrics this time around . . . including this critic from the "New York Post".
6. 50 Cent was psyched to get a shoutout on the song "Ruin the Friendship".
