The anticipation for Taylor Swift's twelfth studio album, 'The Life of a Showgirl', reached a fever pitch, and now that the music is finally here, fans are absolutely losing their minds. After what felt like an endless wait, the new record has not only arrived but has immediately eclipsed everything else in the music world. Social media is awash with celebratory posts from Swifties, who are over the moon with the new tracks and the sheer scale of her success. Fans are emphatically demanding that, given her power over the platform, Spotify might as well just rename itself to reflect its current sovereign.

The centerpiece of this record-breaking phenomenon is the single, ‘The Fate of Ophelia’. The Fate of Ophelia' not only secured the coveted number one spot on the Global Spotify chart but also led the entire album in a total domination, making history with a staggering 30.98 million streams. In a twist of poetic irony, Swift actually broke her own previous record, which was set just last year by her hit ‘Fortnight’ from ‘The Tortured Poets Department’. Now the domination is so complete that a playful, yet increasingly serious, demand fans want Spotify to rename itself as "Taylorify"
