    The pop star shared a post about her friend and former collaborator’s third studio record on Instagram last night (Monday August 17), following the project’s release last Friday (August 14).

    “It’s her birthday but she gave us a gift,” wrote Swift, who teamed up with Bridgers on ‘Nothing New’ – a ‘From The Vault’ track from 2021’s ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’.

    “Haven’t been able to stop listening. This album is an absolute triumph in every way,” she told her followers.

    The singer went on to praise Bridgers’ songwriting, adding: “To write about grief with such vulnerability and detail, and to trust the listener with this much honesty. Happy bday @phoebebridgers I love you!!”

    Bridgers previously opened for Swift on her massive ‘Eras Tour’, where she was also joined on stage by her Boygenius bandmates. Swift’s frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff is credited as a producer on ‘Lost Weekend’.
