On Monday, Taylor Swift's track Shake It Off broke the record of highest debut ever at No. 9 on the Adulp Pop Songs chart.

But Wednesday proved to be an even bigger day for the 23-year-old pop star, as her new single hit No. 1 onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

This was a major leap from her spot at No. 69 last week on the Billboard Artist 100 chart which measures the song and album sales, radio airplay, streaming and social activity.

The country crooner released her latest album 1989 on October 27th and unveiled the music video for Shake It Off last Monday.

The same day, the star strategically hosted a Yahoo! live stream to make the announcement of her track's release, which was also then available for digital purchase and to radio.

And what's more is that Shake It Off marks Taylor's 'seventh Digital Songs No. 1,' according to Billboard.com.

Along with the Twitter post, TSwift shared a link to some of the outtakes from her Shake It Off video called 'Shake It Off' Outtakes Video #1 - The Cheerleaders.'

The clip begins with a few Polaroid photos of the star and follows with her clad in a cheerleading uniform, as she explains a bit of the behind-the-scenes process.

During the video, Taylor went on to explain which fans she believes benefit the most from her newest hit.

'A lot of people who I think will relate to this song are people who I think are dealing with not ever really feeling cool with themselves, because other people make them feel like they don't really fit in...'

'When, one thing I learned from this process is that you can get everything you want in life without ever feeling like you fit in,' she continued.

Taylor further explained that selling millions of records makes her feel 'proud' rather than 'cool.'

'The most important thing in life is to dance to the beat of your own drum and to look like you're having more fun than the people who look cool, like they fit in,' she said.
