Taylor Swift will have no doubt been riding a wave of emotions over the weekend after releasing 1989 Taylor's Version.
The re-record of the incredible and Grammy Award-winning album was always going to be popular considering it catapulted her into mega-stardom back in 2014 when it was first unveiled.
However, it's hard to imagine it was going to be this popular.

It's been so big that it has set another record for the 33-year-old pop star.
Her re-record of 1989 was the most single-day streamed album of the year so far on Spotify, and she was the most streamed artist in a single day as well.
Taylor already had that first record when she released Midnights last year. However, the re-record of 1989 managed to topple that.

After the album dropped, the vault track 'Slut!' climbed to the top of the charts in the US with more than five million streams.
While her song 'Style' managed to reach number one internationally.
According to Variety, Spotify’s daily US top 50 ranking had all 21 songs from 1989 Taylor's Version occupy the top 21 positions on the chart over the weekend.
If the numbers keep going the way they're going, Swift could set another record.

It was only a few months ago that Taylor dropped her re-record of Speak Now, and that had the best first week of any album in 2023.
It managed to bring in 716,000 units and a big majority of those were pure album sales.
The 33-year-old sent a message to her fans after 1989 was released to the masses last week.
She said: "I was born in 1989, reinvented for the first time in 2014, and a part of me was reclaimed in 2023 with the re-release of this album I love so dearly.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the magic you would sprinkle on my life for so long.
"This moment is a reflection of the woods we've wandered through and all this love between us still glowing in the darkest dark.
"I present to you, with gratitude and wild wonder, my version of 1989.

"It's been waiting for you."
In her prologue for the album, she explained that she decided to completely reinvent herself before she first released the record back in 2014.
"There was so much that I didn’t know then, and looking back I see what a good thing that was," she said.
"This time of my life was marked by right kind of naïveté, a hunger for adventure, and a sense of freedom I hadn’t tasted before.
"It turns out that the cocktail of naïveté, hunger for adventure and freedom can lead to some nasty hangovers, metaphorically speaking. Of course everyone had something to say.
"But they always will. I learned lessons, paid prices, and tried to ... don’t say it ... don’t say it ... I’m sorry, I have to say it ... shake it off."
