Fans around the world spent the weekend basking in Taylor Swift’s latest surprise album, Evermore. Turns out one of those people was fellow pop star Halsey.
In a tweet on Sunday (Dec. 13), Halsey sent a special thank you to Swift for spending her quarantine writing and releasing new music for fans to enjoy. “I just love @taylorswift13 for committing to bringing so much magic to a time in which she knows so many of her fans may be suffering,” Halsey tweeted. “This is the least profitable era of music we’ve lived to see and she’s working very hard because it makes people happy. That’s really somethin’.”
Swift took notice of Halsey’s note and thanked her with her own tweet back, using a GIF of Will Ferrell in the film Get Hard crying while attempting to drink some red wine. “Me reading this tweet, ilysm,” Swift wrote. Halsey quickly responded, saying, “ily more! Someone had to say it !!!!!”
Halsey has long been a supporter of Swift and her latest ventures in the music industry. When the “Willow” singer publicly accused Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta of blocking her from performing her old music as part of their purchase of her masters, Halsey was one of the first artists to come to Swift’s defense.
“These people are protected because they inspire complicity with fear,” she wrote in an Instagram story at the time. “You’re barking up the wrong tree. It is her grace and patience in these moments that make her Artist of the Decade.”
