The video now has more than 20million views on YouTube.<\/p>\n

The new record was announced by the Guinness World Record website on Tuesday – 13 days after the episode with Swift premiered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 1.3million concurrent viewers garnered by Swift’s appearance on the show also broke YouTube’s record for the most live-streamed podcast hosted on the platform – a mark previous held by\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>‘s appearance on ‘The Joe Rogan<\/a> Experience’ last fall.<\/p>\n

The ‘New Heights’ stream was so popular that Swifties\u00a0ended up crashing the YouTube stream<\/a>\u00a0at the 1 hour, 44 minute mark.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The New Heights YouTube channel also saw a spike in subscriber numbers.\u00a0The channel began at 2.85million subs before the episode began. By the next morning, the subscriber count sat at 2.97million, and now has 3.06million subscribers.<\/p>\n

The appearance saw the normally tight-lipped Swift go into depth on a variety of topics, including the process of buying back her masters<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Swift cried during the show as she explained the emotional process of her reclaiming her music, while she also revealed the album cover<\/a>\u00a0of her forthcoming record, ‘The Life of a Showgirl.’<\/p>\n

The singer also showed off her impressive football knowledge as she gave surprise shoutouts to Jared Goff<\/a>\u00a0and Xavier Worthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And she also sent fans into a frenzy as some came away from the episode convinced she was teasing a performance at next year’s Super Bowl halftime show.<\/p>\n

Swift made a point to bring up her new obsession with baking sourdough, and San Francisco – where Super Bowl LX will be hosted – is known for its history of baking the bread.<\/p>\n

The 49ers’ mascot is even called Sourdough Sam.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And the couple dropped a bombshell on Tuesday when they announced <\/a>they were engaged.<\/p>\n
