Taylor Swift reminded Us, once again, that it’s nice to have a friend.
Multiple pals from the singer’s orbit came out in support of her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, which was released on Friday, April 19. From Post Malone to Sabrina Carpenter, plenty of love was doled out via social media, with celebrity friends channeling their inner Swifties and sharing screenshots of the songs they were streaming.
Swift shared her own excitement over the release of her 11th studio album, penning a note to her fans via Instagram and explaining TTPD’s origins. (Along with the initial 16 tracks, Swift dropped a double album, The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, with an additional 15 songs.)
“An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time – one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure,” she wrote. “This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up.”
Scroll on to see on the celebrity fans who are showing love to Swift online:
Brittany Mahomes
Brittany, who is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, sparked a friendship with Swift during the 2023-2024 NFL season after the pop star began dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
She celebrated the release of Swift’s new album by reposting the singer’s TTPD message via her Instagram Story, alongside the caption, “Let’s goooo.”
Sophie Turner
While Turner has been a longtime fan of Swift, the women cemented their tight bond publicly when the pair were spotted together shortly after the announcement of the Game of Thrones star’s divorce from Joe Jonas (who briefly dated Swift back in 2008).

Welch showed love for Swift by offering insight into their collaboration on the album’s song “Florida!!!” The Florence + The Machine singer posted a photo of a book written by Lauren Groff, alongside the caption, “When @TaylorSwift asked me to feature on Florida!!!
