The near-overnight success of “Midnights” proved the “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version) (10 Minute Version)” singer “can still make the whole place sparkle!”
The Blast is set to share news of “Midnights'” early success on the streaming service.
Just 24 hours after the recording was released, Spotify reported Swift became the most streamed artist in a single day in the platform’s history and “Midnights” also achieved the distinction of being the most streamed album of the day!
Consequence recently reported “Midnights” has broken 72 records in the last 10 days of its availability!
According to the outlet, “Midnights” reached number one in 14 countries, and has also become “the only artist to have five debut albums sell over 1 million in their first week in Nielson US History.”
Despite Massive Success, Swift Has Also Faced Criticism Since ‘Midnights’ Released
Some critics were unhappy with Swift’s “Anti-Hero” music video. The music video, released the same day as the “Midnights” LP, contains a scene featuring Swift weighing herself on a scale that clearly reads “fat” in response.
Listeners voiced their concerns on social media shortly after the release of the music video.
According to our report on the matter, A Twitter user expressed their frustration with Swift’s lack of response to social media chatter alleging the inclusion of fatphobic imagery at the time, and also how some fans reacted to the chatter.
“When @lizzo has a word that is deemed capable in one of his songs, he apologizes and corrects it. Thousands of disabled people talk about it. Same with Beyonce. But Taylor has a fatphobic image and it’s ‘you don’t get it’ aimed at fat people?” the tweet was read.
The thread inspired a wide variety of responses: many users agreed and others struggled to see the alleged illustration of fatphobia depicted in the video.
The situation soon ended up being discussed on “The View,” with the host hitting back at critics who claimed Swift deliberately used fatphobic imagery, arguing that critics had misinterpreted Swift’s intended message.
“She’s describing a personal experience,” explains Sunny Hostin, “And frankly, it’s a personal experience that a lot of women have.” Another host also added that men also experience this struggle.

Swift responded to Billboard’s tweet, tweeting, “10 out of 10 on the Hot 100??? On my tenth album??? I AM TOO!”
Fans must have been deep in a ‘lavender haze’ in response to Swift’s excitement.
Twitter user, @thetaylight, share screenshots of Billboard’s Top 10 entries and captioned it “THAT’S A REAL F**KING LEGACY,” nodding to lyrics from the album’s second track “Maroon.”
The chart featured “Anti-Hero” at number one, “Lavender Haze” at number two, “Maroon” at number three, Swift’s collaboration with Lana Del Rey “Snow On The Beach” at number four, “Midnight Rain” at number five, “Decorated” at number six, “Questions…? at seven, “You’re On Your Own Kid” at number eight, “Karma” at number nine, and “Vigilante Sh*t” claimed tenth place on the chart.
