Phoebe Bridgers' new album, Lost Weekend, earned a coveted Best New Music distinction from Pitchfork, but it's also received a glowing review from perhaps an even more impressive source: Taylor Swift.

The pop superstar and 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee shared her thoughts on Lost Weekend Monday in an Instagram Story celebrating Bridgers' 32nd birthday.

"It's [Bridgers'] birthday but she gave us a gift," Swift wrote. "Haven't been able to stop listening."

"This album is an absolute triumph in every way," the "Shake It Off" singer continued. "To write about grief with such vulnerability and detail, and to trust the listener with this much honesty."

You may recall that Bridgers opened for select dates on Swift's massive Eras Tour.

Bridgers will launch a sold-out arena tour in support of Lost Weekend in September.
