Less than a month after Taylor Swift dropped her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl, estimates put the album’s first week earnings well over $100 million.

Taylor Swift is keeping it 100 million on the land, the sea and the skies, actually.

In fact, The Life of a Showgirl earned even more than that in its first week of sales, with Billboard estimating that Swift’s 12th studio album racked up about $135 million across its record-breaking four million units of sales.

While Taylor herself has not addressed the momentous earnings she raked in for her latest release, she did celebrate the record-breaking album sales feat—which broke a number set by Adele’s 25 in 2015—comparing it to the 40,000 copies she had sold of her debut record, Taylor Swift.

“I was 16 and couldn’t even fathom that that many people would care enough about my music to invest their time and energy into it,” she reminisced in an Oct. 13 Instagram post. “Since then I’ve tried to meet and thank as many people as I could who have given me the chance to chase this insane dream. Here we are all these years later and a hundred times that many people showed up for me this week.”

As she put it, “I have 4 million thank you’s I want to send to the fans, and 4 million reasons to feel even more proud of this album than I already was.”

When it comes to those who have not received her album as warmly? Well, Taylor very pointedly shrugged off critics’ tendency to hate, hate, hate.

“If it’s the first week of my album release and you are saying either my name or my album title, you’re helping,” she said in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe Oct. 7. “I have a lot of respect for people’s subjective opinions on art. I’m not the art police. It’s like everybody is allowed to feel exactly how they want. And what our goal is as entertainers is to be a mirror.”

Regardless of fans’ opinions on her newest release, Taylor isn’t letting any singular piece of work define her personal reputation, but rather her career as a whole.

“An album is a really, really wild way to look at yourself,” she continued. “We’re doing this thing for keeps. I have such an eye on legacy when I’m making my music. I know what I made, I know I adore it.”

The 35-year-old even admitted that the mixed reviews are an important flower in her lovely bouquet.

“On the theme of what ‘the showgirl’ is,” she explained, “all of this is part of it.”
