Taylor Swift is proudly supporting her dear friend Phoebe Bridgers after she dropped her newest album, Lost Weekend.
“It’s her birthday but she gave us a gift,” Swift, 36, wrote while resharing Bridgers’ new record via her Instagram Story on Monday, August 17, which also fell on the indie musician’s 32nd birthday.
Swift added that she hasn’t “been able to stop listening” to Lost Weekend since its Friday, August 14, release.
“This album is an absolute triumph in every way,” Swift gushed. “To write about grief with such vulnerability and detail, and to trust the listener with this much honesty.”
Swift ended her post by wishing Bridgers a happy birthday and sharing, “I love you!!”
The pop star and Bridgers have been close friends for years. The pair collaborated for the first time in 2021 on Swift’s song “Nothing New,” a vault track for the Red rerecording.
“I just am so excited to have people take it at face value the day that it comes out, because I got teary recording it. I just couldn’t be more excited,” Bridgers said of working with Swift in an interview with Billboard at the time. “I think that she is an incredible businessperson and an incredible writer. What she’s been able to build just from writing adeptly from a young age is insane.”
Two years later, Bridgers opened for Swift during several shows of her Eras Tour concerts.
While Swift and Bridgers have been celebrating the “Motion Sickness” singer’s new album release, the pair also spent some quality time together. Over the weekend, Swift and Bridgers were both in attendance at Oli Jacobs and Laura Sisk’s wedding held outside of Gloucestershire, England, on Saturday, August 15. Sabrina Carpenter and Jack Antonoff were also at the event.
According to photos published by online gossip site DeuxMoi, Swift — who wed husband Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden last month — debuted a new shorter hairstyle. Swift also paired her Kindred Lubeck by Artifex Fine Jewelry engagement ring with a gold wedding band.
Kelce did not attend the wedding as NFL preseason just kicked off. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end also donned his own gold wedding band at the Chiefs’ first home preseason game on Saturday.
“It was a fun offseason, man. [Our] wedding was the best night of my life,” Kelce gushed during an August press conference . “I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us. That’s about all I really got from that night. It was a crazy night. It was full of a lot of celebration.”
