We're barely over a week into Taylor Swift's promotional cycle for her new album Reputation(due November 10) and Corruption (1983)already her first single, "Look What You Made Me Do," is engulfing the internet with hot takes and breaking streaming records.
SEE ALSO: Grieving public reacts to news of the death of old Taylor Swift, declared dead by new Taylor SwiftAnd now we can add another record to Swift's trophy case: the (bonkers) official video for "Look What You Made Me Do," which debuted during Sunday night's MTV VMAs, broke the record for the biggest debut, netting over 43 million streams in the video's first 24 hours on YouTube.
According to a statement from YouTube, Swift's new song registered 43.2 million views during that opening day of viewing, easily beating out viral sensation Psy who's 2013 video for "Gentleman" had 36 million views during its first 24 hours.
The video averaged around 30,000 views per minute for the day and, according to YouTube, exceeded 3 million views per hour at some point following its debut, a ridonkulous number for a bananas video.
This, of course, is in addition to the lyric video, which was streamed a record 19 million times in its first 24 hours after hitting the web on Friday. And, a day later, the song broke Spotify's same-day streams record with 8 million plays.
