In a post on Instagram, Taylor noted that this is the first time in 12 years that she has had two songs from an album reach number one on the chart. The last time this happened was with the 1989 album, which had number one songs \u201cShake It Off,\u201d \u201cBlank Space,\u201d and \u201cBad Blood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor shared some behind-the-scenes photos and videos from the making of \u201cOpalite\u201d to celebrate the occasion.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust a few Opalite memories to celebrate the Hot 100 #1 you guys just got this song!! I can\u2019t even sum up my excitement and I\u2019m so blown away by the love you\u2019ve shown this song and video. To put this into perspective\u2026 This is actually the first time I\u2019ve had two Hot 100 #1s off of one album since my album 1989 came out in 2014, nearly twelve years ago! I know that\u2019s a lot of numbers but it all adds up to me being so thankful to the fans who helped make this happen by welcoming this song into your lives with open arms. Seriously bouncing off the walls about this!! Just wanted to say THANK YOU, might go buy a giant pretzel at the mall to celebrate, iykyk \ud83e\udd68\ud83c\udf35\ud83e\udea8,\u201d Taylor captioned the below post.<\/p>\n
