Taylor Swift just released her re-recorded version of Red, which includes features from Phoebe Bridgers, Chris Stapleton, Ed Sheeran and Foster the People's Mark Foster. During a visit to Late Night with Seth Meyers, the pop star gushed about working with Bridgers, calling her "one of my favorite artists in the world."
“Phoebe Bridgers is one of my favorite artists in the world," she told Meyers. "I just think she’s… If she sings it, I will listen to it. I love her voice, and I also love that she’s a very funny person.”
Swift enlisted Bridgers to duet with her on "Nothing New" — a song from the vault that didn't make it onto the original version of Red in 2012 — and when she texted the singer-songwriter to ask if she wanted to work on it, Bridgers was beside herself. Her response was: “I’ve been waiting for this text for my entire life.”
Bridgers also recently opened up about the collaboration, admitting that she "got teary" while recording her part.
“It’s just been a dream,” she said. “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.”
