It’s no secret thatTaylor Swiftcan write a superb song — but now we know she can compose a great pep talk, too.
While reflecting on six years ofMelodramaon Saturday,Lordegave the world a glimpse into her friendship with the 33-year-old pop star. The New Zealand-born singer, 26, shared the encouraging words Swift shared following the less-than-satisfactory initial success of her sophomore album.
Lorde cropped a piece of the “All Too Well” singer’s text when sheposted it to her InstagramStory on Friday, but the visible part reads, “You will always be imagined in my mind in a rowboat withAnnie Lennoxfloating down a river of cool cerebral ethereal dreams but don’t-f—-with-me vibes all around you.”
“And I don’t think first week record sales singularly define a legacy,” Swift finished, to which Lorde responded, “I love you so much for this.”
The “Royals” singer then added a comment that Swift “was very kind and not wrong” alongside the 2017 text messages.

The “Green Light” musician previously opened up about her relationship with theLoversongstress ina 2017 interview. The singer-songwriter jokingly rolled her eyes when she was asked if she was a member of Swift’s “squad,” which was often in the news at the time.
“You know, you make friends in different places,” she said. “But I think for the most part I’m not, like, calling my idols for advice necessarily.”
Lorde’s latest release,Solar Power,came in 2021, and she’s currently trying to"move as quickly" as she canon her fourth album.
“This one, I really am trying to. I don’t want to wait, you know, so take from that what you will,” she said in February.
