On the night of Friday (October 21st) Taylor Swift (32) released her new, tenth studio album "Midnights" - exactly at midnight (EST). But for many fans it was initially quiet on Spotify: At least in the USA, the release of the 13 songs temporarily blew up the app.

Complaints from the "Swifties", as the Grammy winner's fan community is called, piled up on Twitter. According to "Bloomberg", in the hour after midnight, almost 8,000 malfunctions of the music streaming app were reported to the "Downdetector" site across the USA.

As soon as Spotify had cleared the technical faults, the fans then streamed like crazy: As the music service also announced to the publication on Twitter around 24 hours ago, "Midnights" was "before the clock could strike midnight on October 22". most streamed album in one day in Spotify history.

The artist herself can't believe it: "How could I be so lucky that you guys are doing something so amazing? Like what just happened??!?!" Swift wrote on her Twitter account.
