A new Taylor Swift release is already making an impact on streaming. Just one day after The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore arrived, the project helped Swift reach two notable Spotify milestones for 2026.
Spotify confirmed that Swift became its most-streamed female artist in a single day this year. The platform also announced that Patient Zero, one of the new tracks on the expanded release, became the most-streamed song by a female artist in a single day in 2026 so far.
The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore arrived September 25 with four additional songs: Patient Zero, Babylon, Pink Clouding, and Cleveland!. The expanded edition gives listeners more material connected to the original album.
