FUN FACT:
Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift dropped their first albums on the exact same day, month, and year, and next year will mark 20 years of Taylor, Miley, and Hannah Montana in the industry!
‘The Life of Showgirl’ by Taylor Swift officially debuts at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 4.002 million units.
It becomes the biggest debut of all time.
Nearly 20 years after her debut album opened with 40,000 copies, Taylor Swift has broken the record for biggest album debut in U.S. history at 4 million.
Taylor Swift talks about the reception to her new album ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ during Zane Lowe interview:
“I welcome the chaos. The rule of show business is if it’s the first week of my album release, and you are saying either my name or my album title, you’re helping. I have a lot of respect for people’s subjective opinions on art — I’m not the art police. Everybody is allowed to feel exactly how they want and what our goal is as entertainers is to be a mirror. Oftentimes an album is a really, really wild way to look at yourself — what you’re going through in your life is gonna affect whether you relate to the music I’m putting out at any given moment. What I often love seeing my fans say is ‘I used to be someone who didn’t like relate to Reputation, and now that I’ve been through some other things in my life, that’s my favorite album.’ Or ‘I used to be a Fearless girlie, now I’m obsessed with Evermore.’ I have such an eye on legacy when I’m making my music — I know what I made, I know I adore it.”
