When it was announced that sad girl rocker, Phoebe Bridgers, was going to be on a “Red” song from the vault, fans wondered if Swift would give Bridgers a full verse and make it a proper duet. Luckily, Swift is just as much of a fan of Bridgers as her Pharbz (Bridgers’ fans) are.
As NME reported, Swift went on the “Late Night with Seth Meyers” in November 2021 and sang the musician’s praises, saying Bridgers was “one of [her] favorite artists in the world.” Swift said, “If she sings it, I will listen to it. I just love her voice.” After Swift decided she had to have Bridgers on the song, Swift texted her.

“I got this random text from Aaron Dessner that was really weirdly worded for him,” Bridgers told Billboard in 2022. “And I was like, “What the f*** is this?” And as I was reading it, I [realized], ‘Oh, my God, it’s from Taylor Swift.'” Bridgers described it as “just a total high,” with her and Swift texting and really hit it off. Swift told Meyers that Bridgers first responded, “I’ve been waiting for this text my entire life.” Same, Phoebe. Same.
