Taylor Swift beats many records (but not Adele’s)
The new album by Taylor Swift, “The Life of a showgirl”, has – as it was predictable – beaten several records. On Spotify it became the most pre-disclosed album ever (over five million pre-waves) and the album that generated more streaming ever in a single day in 2025. In the United States, the disc sold 2.7 million copies (between physical records and digital downloads) on the first day of publication, becoming the best-selling record of 2025; And it was the second best -selling album ever on the first day of publication, overcoming “The tortured poets department” (always by Swift) but not “25” by Adele (released 10 years ago).
As for the critical welcome – here we reported that of Alex Petidis of the “Guardian”, here that of Rockol – the first reviews were not properly enthusiastic; They described it as a good pop album, with episodes that confirm Swift’s skills as storyteller, but not without defects (poor cohesion, questionable texts).
