In the first three days, the album’s 20 songs have garnered over 284 million on-demand official streams combining both audio and video in the country. Taylor also tweeted on her official Twitter handle, "How did I get this lucky, having you guys out here doing something this mind blowing?! Like what even just happened??!?!" as the album went on to become the most streamed album in Spotify history in a day. The 'Reputation' singer overtook the 'watermelon sugar' singer Harry Styles, whose album 'Harry’s House' which was previously the top-selling album of 2022. 'Midnights' released after a lot of pre-release promotions and pre-orders, claims Billboard.

Taylor initially released the album with the basic edition and later released a set of songs called '3 am songs.' "I’m calling them 3am tracks. Lately I’ve been loving the feeling of sharing more of our creative process with you, like we do with From The Vault tracks. So it’s 3am and I’m giving them to you now. "

The singer shocked everyone by announcing at the 2022 VMAs that her highly anticipated 10th studio album, ‘Midnights,’ will be her next release rather than one of her re-recorded albums, as was previously believed. Swift's love of Easter eggs and surprises is well-known to longtime fans. Following two surprise releases of 'Evermore' and 'Folklore,' the passionate artist has returned to the traditional release structure of a first announcement and a slow outflow of information.

Be damn happy we are all sharing timeline with such a legend." A tweet read, "Queen of pop." Another tweet said, "Taylor is the music industry." Another user claimed,"that’s very impressive for a streaming era." Cameron McKendry tweeted,"Taylor Swift u will always be famous."
