Award-winning female artiste, Taylor Swift, has expressed her gratitude to her fans for making her album a success.
Swift recently released her re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), and in all her social media activity since the release, has been to thank everyone who made “her wildest dreams come true”.
She began by thanking rapper and singer Kendrick Lamar for re-recording his Bad Blood remix verse, and then she thanked her “precocious young son”, Jack Antonoff, for their first collaboration.
Reports indicate that Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) sold over 1.1 million copies in the U.S. in its first six days of release (Oct. 27–Nov. 1).
Out of that total, $580,000 comes from vinyl purchases, making it the biggest week for vinyl record sales since Luminate started keeping track of sales back in 1991. Swift smashes her own record for contemporary vinyl sales, which was achieved by the release of Midnights in its first week of sales (ending Oct. 27, 2022).
