It’s not just The Life of a Showgirl — it’s the life of a record-breaking icon.
Taylor Swift’s 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, has sold a jaw-dropping 2.7 million copies in the U.S. — in just one day.
Those numbers include physical and digital album sales, meaning Swifties everywhere quite literally crashed the internet, cleared the shelves, and probably caused at least one vinyl shortage at Urban Outfitters.
Released Friday, the album instantly broke Taylor’s own record for most first-week sales in only 24 hours.
Her previous album, 2024’s The Tortured Poets Department, sold 2.61 million in its first week.
It’s now officially the second-biggest sales week for any album in the modern era since Luminate began tracking in 1991.
The Life of a Showgirl sold 1.2 million vinyl copies in a single week — shattering the previous record held by (who else?) Taylor’s The Tortured Poets Department, which sold 859,000.
And she dominated at the Box Office as well with The Official Release Party of a Show Girl, bringing in another $33 million in North America.
