If you break Taylor Swift's heart, she'll write a song about it, the song will break record and make it to the top of the charts in minutes and she'll be millions richer. Basically, if you break her heart, you're kind of doing her a favor.
Taylor's song 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' set the record by a female for the BIGGEST digital sales week EVER.
Needless to say, the song debuted at #1- and sold a whopping 623k digital downloads. Tay dethroned Ke$ha, who used to hold the highest selling digital sales with 'TiK ToK' dating back to 2010 when she sold 610K digital copies and and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," which notched the record for the biggest first-week sales by a woman last year with 448K.
She also came within 13,000 of the all-time single-week digital sales mark, held by Flo Rida's "Right Round," which debuted at #1 on sales of 636K in February 2009.
"When I was coming up with the name for this album, it seemed crazy because it was really simple," Swift said.
"I wrote a song called 'Red,' and thinking about what that song means to me and all the different emotions on this album they're all pretty much about the tumultuous, crazy, insane, intense, semi-toxic relationships I've experienced in the last two years and all those emotions fanning from intense love, intense frustration, intense jealousy, confusion, all of that in my mind, all those emotions are red. There's nothing in between, there's nothing beige about those feelings and so I called my record that."
Let's see if Taylor can break another record after she peforms another NEW song from her upcoming album 'Red' at the MTV Video Music Awards in September.
