Fortnight becomes Spotify’s most-streamed song in a single day
American rapper and singer Post Malone has expressed his deep appreciation for working with Taylor Swift on her latest album The Tortured Poets Department. The duo collaborated on the single Fortnight, which shattered records by becoming Spotify’s most-streamed song in a single day after its release.
Malone, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, shared his gratitude on social media, saying: “It’s once in a lifetime that someone like @taylorswift13 comes into this world. I am floored by your heart and your mind, and I am beyond honored to have been asked to help you with your journey. I love you so much. Thank you Tay.”
Swift, 34, announced Fortnight as the first single from her album on April 18, also revealing that a music video featuring Dead Poets Society stars Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles would accompany the song. Malone also makes an appearance in the dystopian romance-themed video.
The album, which features a collaboration with Florence and the Machine, became a massive hit, racking up over 300 million streams on its first day on Spotify. In addition, Swift released an expanded edition of the album, The Anthology, including an extra 15 tracks.
Swift’s latest album has sparked intense speculation among fans, particularly with the track So Long, London, which is believed to reflect on her breakup with actor Joe Alwyn after six years together. The album’s title also fueled further rumors, leading some to question if it references Alwyn, especially after a mention of The Tortured Man Club in a WhatsApp group chat involving Alwyn and Paul Mescal. Fans also speculated that some of the tracks allude to Swift’s current relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce.
