NEW YORK — It's the life of a saleswoman. Taylor Swift's 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” sold 2.7 million copies in traditional album sales — which include physical and digital formats — in its first day in the U.S. That's according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company.

The album was released Friday.

The sales are impressive for a number of reasons. Swift has broken her record for most first week sales … in one day. Her last album, 2024's “The Tortured Poets Department,” a massed 2.61 million equivalent album units in the U.S. in its first week.

“The Life of a Showgirl” has also become the second-largest sales week for any album in the modern era, since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991. That was also accomplished in just one day.
