Taylor Swift’s ‘Lover’ debuts at No.1 on Billboard Top 200

Taylor Swift has thanked her fans for “one of the best weeks” of her life after Lover topped the charts.

The 29-year-old pop superstar’s latest studio effort became the highest-selling record in the US. Billboard magazine had this to say, “Taylor Swift’s new album, Lover, blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with the biggest week for any album since her last release, Reputation, in 2017. Lover earned 867,000 equivalent album units in the US in the week ending August 29, according to Nielsen Music.”

In a video message posted on Instagram, Swift gushed: “I just have to say to you guys, thank you so much for one of the best weeks of my life.

“I can’t thank you enough. Like I couldn’t have imagined it going better or being more fun, and getting to meet so many of you and seeing all the things you were saying about Lover online ... I just love you guys, and I’m really, really, really lucky and I know it every single day. Thank you so much.”

Meanwhile, the ME! hitmaker recently admitted she isn’t “quite sure” what the plan is for her Lover tour, but teased she wants to do something more intimate after her ‘Reputation Stadium Tour’ last year.

Swift said: “I’m not quite sure what we’re doing with touring because with this album, I was so full-on planning this album release and directing the videos and putting all these different clues in these videos and trying to make this album release experience the most fun one for my fans, that I didn’t want to plan what we’re going to do in terms of live.

“I don’t want to do the same thing every time because I don’t want my life to feel like I’m on a treadmill.”
