After Taylor Swift dropped the music video for her new single 'Me!' on Friday, the clip became the most-watched visual from a solo or female artist in history, YouTube confirmed over the weekend.

According to a tweet from the streaming site, the music video — featuring Panic! at the Disco frontman, Brendon Urie — received 65.2 million views within its first 24 hours of its April 26 bow, making Swift the solo and female artist with the platform’s largest single-day debut.




Ariana Grande previously held the record for solo artists, as her 'Thank U, Next' video bagged 55 million views across the day of its release late last year.

Still, Swift’s 'Me!' numbers trail the overall record (74 million views) held by K-pop group BTS’ visual for 'Boy With Luv'.




The single is expected to be included on Swift’s upcoming seventh full-length LP — the title of which is hidden in the 'Me!' video via a series of clues, the 29-year-old told fans on social media.

Even if Dolly did a duet with her, it wouldn’t interest me.

I wonder how many people she paid to watch it. Probably all of them.

Pay? No one. They’re already brainwashed.

I remember Marilyn Manson saying that success isn't just measured by how many love you, that it's also by how many hate you.

So if she compels people to talk about her, good or bad, she's doing something right.

The same could be said about the Kardashian’s.

Probably yeah :lol:

Do I count as one of the 65.2 million if I just watched a little bit of it?

The same could be said about the Kardashian’s.

Well yeah, they have a multi-million dollar family empire.

Those children (the babies) don't have to work a day in their lives.
