  "account": "Taylor Swift has celebrated Phoebe Bridgers' new album, Lost Weekend, by praising it as \"an absolute triumph in every way.\" The pop superstar made the glowing review on her Instagram story, just in time for Bridgers' birthday. Swift went on to say that she \"haven't been able to stop listening\" to the album, which explores themes of grief, heartbreak, love, and complicated family history. Bridgers' first solo album since 2020's Punisher has been well-received by critics, fans and friends alike. The 16-track album, released on August 14, sees the singer diving deep into personal experiences, much like her previous work with boygenius. Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridgers have collaborated before, with Bridgers appearing on the track \"Nothing New (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)\" from Swift's 2021 album Red (Taylor's Version). The two artists have also appeared together during the Eras Tour, with Bridgers performing the collaboration live at several shows. With Lost Weekend now officially out, it seems Swift has been spending quality time with the album herself, getting emotionally swept up in it just like the rest of us.",
