(CNN)- Taylor Swift has set another milestone in her record-breaking career—this time on Spotify.
The streaming giant announced that Swift’s upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, has become the most pre-saved album countdown page in Spotify’s history. The achievement comes less than three weeks after she announced the project and more than a month ahead of its release on October 3.
The record was previously held by Swift’s 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department, which dominated charts worldwide and set multiple streaming records.
In entertainment news, a new documentary is also set to debut this week. The American Southwest explores the natural history of the Colorado River and its vital role in sustaining both human society and diverse ecosystems along its nearly 1,500-mile journey from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California.
Narrated by Indigenous actress and activist Quannah ChasingHorse, the film highlights the urgent need to balance conservation and resource management. The American Southwest opens in theaters Friday, September 5.
