Phoebe Bridgers has recalled in a new interview the “total high” of talking to Taylor Swift for the first time in a text exchange.Last year, the pair collaborated on the song ‘Nothing New’, one of the “From The Vault” bonus tracks that appear on Swift’s re-recording of her 2012 fourth album, ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’.During an interview on Late Night With Seth Meyers last November, Swift hailed Bridgers as “one of my favourite artists in the world”, adding: “If she sings it, I will listen to it.

I just love her voice.” She also explained how her team-up with Bridgers came about, sharing that it started with a text message.Now, speaking to Billboard, Bridgers has given her side of the story, explaining that at first she thought the text was from The National‘s Aaron Dessner.“I got this random text from Aaron Dessner that was really weirdly worded for him,” she said. “And I was like, ‘What the f–k is this?’ And as I was reading it, I [realized], ‘Oh, my God, it’s from Taylor Swift.’She continued: “We started texting about all kinds of stuff.

It was just a total high. It felt like when you meet someone at a party and you’re in the corner all night being like, ‘Me too!'”Bridgers then revealed that she and Swift have still not met in person. “I’m excited for when we hang out for the first time,” she said.
