“I am completely blown away by what you’ve done – it stayed at #1 for the first 12 weeks of its release, and that’s never happened to an album of mine before, not even close!!” Swift wrote, calling her fans the greatest.

“The Tortured Poets Department” has set a new personal record for Swift and made history. It surpassed her previous albums, “1989” and “Fearless,” which held the number-one spot for 11 weeks. Additionally, it broke Whitney Houston’s record, whose album “Whitney” topped the charts for 11 weeks in 1987.

Swift’s latest album joins an exclusive group of records that have maintained the number one position for at least 12 weeks, including Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” and Stevie Wonder’s “Songs in the Key of Life.”

Fan Connection and Appreciation

Reflecting on the incredible support from her fans, Swift noted, “You guys are so thoughtful,” acknowledging the heartfelt gestures and dedication that have propelled her latest album to new heights.

Swift’s gratitude for her fans’ unwavering support continues to strengthen the special bond she shares with them, making this milestone even more memorable.

Known for her close connection with her fans, Swift gave a special shoutout to the three Gelsenkirchen crowds, describing them as “amazing” and “thoughtful” in her latest post.

Recently, Swift performed sold-out shows at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, where fans demonstrated their creativity and support in unique ways.

“There were signs and paper hearts, the ‘Betty’ wave, and tons of DIY ‘willow’ orbs made out of balloons + phone flashlights. Thank you!!!” Swift wrote, highlighting the fan-led project that added a special touch to her performances.

The “Willow orbs,” inspired by her hit track “Willow” from the “Evermore” album, became a growing phenomenon over the three concert nights, with more fans participating each evening.

Taylor Nation and various social media posts documented the fan-driven initiative, showcasing the increasing number of orbs and the vibrant concert atmosphere.
