ALBAWABA - Taylor Swift ‘s The Tortured Poets Department has set yet another Spotify record, becoming the most-streamed album in a single day, reportedly exceeding 200 million streams.

Swift now has the top three most-streamed albums in a single day, with previous records held by Midnights and 1989 (Taylor’s Version).

Swift also surprised fans with the release early this morning of The Anthology, featuring 15 additional tracks.

There has been rumors that Taylor Swift may have used artificial intelligence (AI) on her most recent album, and her fans are understandably worried and angry about it.

 It's not unusual for artists to work with AI and other technology to boost their creativity. But if we were to put all the credit for Taylor Swift's success on AI, we'd be ignoring her tremendous skill, perseverance, and commitment to her art. Technology may improve songwriting and other aspects of music production, but ultimately, the artist's vision and creativity shape the output.

The fact that Swift can reliably release albums that top the charts and shatter records says a lot about her talent and the bond she has with her fans. The usage of AI should not be seen as a detriment to her accomplishments but rather as an additional weapon that may help her discover new sounds and ideas.
