Regardless of the backlash and the haters, Taylor Swift rose from the dead to make her legendary mark on the Billboard Hot 100 chart yet again, as one does.

On Tuesday Billboard reported that "Look What You Made Me Do" — the first single from Swift's upcoming album, Reputation — just earned the 27-year-old her fifth number one song on the chart and smashed the weekly streaming records.

Since its Aug. 25 release, Swift's rebellious single rose to the top, kicking the anthem of the summer, "Despacito," out of first place and even breaking the record for the biggest video debut with more than 43 million streams in the first 24 hours.

In addition to refueling the Taylor-Kanye feud fire, Billboard reports that "Look What You Made Me Do" managed to gain the highest weekly streaming and sales sums for a track in 2017 thus far. It also broke the record for most weekly streams ever for a female artist's song.

Don't tell Katy.

According to Nielsen Music, in its first week the single was reportedly streamed 84.4 million times in the United States alone. To put that into perspective, when Adele's "Hello" debuted back in 2015 it was streamed 61.6 million times its first week.

In fact, since 2013 the only song that's had a greater weekly streaming total than Swift's is Baauer's "Harlem Shake." The song, which became a viral sensation, was streamed 103 million times after its debut.

Swift's past number one hits include "Never" in 2012, and "Shake It Off," "Blank Space," and "Bad Blood" in 2014 and 2015.

Over the weekend Tay dropped another track from Reputation, so stay tuned to see if she can outdo her own record in the coming week.
