“And in the grogginess of my sleep, I checked my phone and she commented on my photo and I just about died … just about died,” Rodrigo, pictured here at the Grammys in 2024, said.
“Literally, I’ve looked up to her as long as I can remember, so it was so sweet of her to do that.”
Swift had commented “I say that’s my baby and I’m really proud” underneath a photo Rodrigo had shared showing Drivers License sitting at No. 3 on iTunes, right underneath two of Swift’s Evermore bonus tracks.
“What is breathing,” Rodrigo later joked on Instagram, alongside a screenshot of Swift’s message.
Swift had previously shared Rodrigo’s cover of her hit Cruel Summer to social media in April 2020, writing, “The talent. Love this!” on X (formerly Twitter).
“Actually, last night, like literally like 12 hours ago, I got a package from her with this like handwritten note,” Rodrigo later told SiriusXM of Swift in March 2021.
