Lorde is celebrating the sixth anniversary of her album, *Melodrama,* and she's throwing back to the supportive texts she received from superstar and good pal Taylor Swift when the music was first released.

In a series of now-expired Instagram stories, Lorde posted a screenshot of a message the *Midnights* singer sent her back in June 2017, part of which reads:

"You will always be imagined in my mind in a rowboat with Annie Lennox floating down a river of cool cerebral ethereal dreams but don't-f\*\*\*-with-me vibes all around you."

The message continued: "And I don't think first week record sales singularly define a legacy."

Lorde captioned the pic, "Taylor was very kind and not wrong."

Lorde has previously said she's very close to Taylor and loves her very much. In 2017, she took to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/lorde/status/883425056029790208?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) to clarify some words which were taken out of context about their friendship during an interview:

"I’ve always found people’s perception of this ‘squad’ idea frustrating in the past; it was never some exclusive club of secret society, but a wide circle of people, some of whom I know, and some who I’ve never met, like most wide groups of friends. Forgive me for the wide eyeroll I popped when it was brought up as if we’re all blood members of a secret cult. Really sh\*\*\*y to wake up to headlines about whether or not you've jumped ship on someone you deeply respect and ride for. I want to say one more time that Taylor has been there for me in all my dark and light moments these past 5 years. All of them."

Not surprising really - Taylor *is* the ultimate hype girl and supportive friend.

Like that time she [celebrated Sza](https://celebritykind.ghost.io/content/files/2026/09/taylor-swift-sza-celebrate-each-others-talent-5.html) for topping the Billboard Global 200 chart for the fifth consecutive week. Or that time she was described as "the definition of women supporting women" by country musician [Kelsea Ballerini.](https://celebritykind.ghost.io/content/files/2026/09/kelsea-ballerini-shares-how-taylor-swift-is-the-definition-of-women-supporting-women-5.html) Or that time [Kesha said](https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/10/taylor-swift-supports-kesha-via-phone-call?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) Taylor is the type of friend "who picks up the phone every time" you need her!

Yep, she's always there. Full of love and support.
