Friday night brought the anticipated release day to an epic close as the 34-year-old pop star released the music video for the record's lead single, Fortnight.

The Poor Things-esque video saw Taylor team up with collaborator Post Malone as well as Dead Poets Society stars Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles.

But the release just may have been eclipsed by Taylor's YouTube short in honor of the "For a Fortnight" trend, which calls on fans to share footage captured over two weeks.

The Karma singer followed through with clips of herself spending time with her cats, working out at the gym, and even hitting the recording studio (should we even be surprised anymore?).

But catching every Swiftie's eye was none other than the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who snuck into the frame to give Taylor a kiss as she cooked.

The quick glimpse wasn't actually the social media hard-launch of "Tayvis," as the 34-year-old athlete was featured in a TikTok shared by Taylor after the Super Bowl earlier this year.

Lead single Fortnight is already enjoying massive success, smashing the Spotify record for single-day streams with 25.2 million – but that's far from the accomplishment The Tortured Poets Department has made in its first 24 hours.

The surprise double release didn't just become the most-streamed album of 2024 on its first day – it became the most-streamed album in a single day in Spotify history.

With 313 million streams, The Tortured Poets Department became the first album ever to have over 300 million streams in a single day on Spotify.

Taylor reflected on the album's meaning in a lengthy Instagram post, calling it "an anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time."

The whopping 31 songs took many Swifties by surprise thanks to their significant inspiration from the Grammy winner's short-lived romance with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy.

But Matty wasn't the only inspiration caught by fans, as Taylor also appeared to sing about ex Joe Alwyn, current beau Travis, fellow singer Olivia Rodrigo, and even infamous enemy Kim Kardashian.
