Three days after releasing "1989 (Taylor's Version)," Taylor Swift has earned a billion streams on Spotify, beating a record she previously held with her 2022 album "Midnights."

According to reports, the "Style" singer became the most-streamed artist in a single day in Spotify history-and she achieved the feat just three days after releasing her album.

"1989 (Taylor's Version)" is the singer's 14th album to earn a billion streams, alongside her other chart-topping releases "Red (Taylor's Version)," "Midnights," and more.

Fans took to social media to congratulate the "Blank Space" singer; "Taylor breaking Taylor's records."

"Queen of streaming, no one does it like her," another added.

"She breaking and smashing the records. God blessed her too much. She deserves it tho for having a pure heart."

Taylor Swift Releases '1989 (Taylor's Version)"

Swift released the new re-recording album on Oct. 27, and shortly after that, she dropped the deluxe version of the album, which includes the "Bad Blood" remix featuring rapper Kendrick Lamar.

"Watching (him) create and record his verses on the Bad Blood remix was one of the most inspiring experiences of my life," the singer wrote about her collaboration with Lamar.

"I still look back on this collaboration with so much pride and gratitude, for the ways Kendrick elevated the song and the way he treats everyone around him.

"Every time the crowds on The Eras Tour would chant his line 'you forgive, you forget, but you never let it... go!' I smiled. The reality that Kendrick would go back in and re-record Bad Blood so that I could reclaim and own this work I'm so proud of is surreal and bewildering to me."

Taylor Swift Wins Big in Streams

Breaking and setting records has become a norm for the "Shake It Off" singer. She recently announced "Cruel Summer," a four-year-old song a single.

According to reports, "Cruel Summer" became such a massive hit long after it was released alongside the 2019 album "Lover."

"Summer just got a BILLION TIMES CRUELER," the singer wrote after the song earned a billion streams on Spotify. "Love you all so much for this. "Love you all so much for this."

The song was written by Swift and St. Vincent, while the singer's frequent collaborator, Jack Antonoff, helped her to produce the track.
