Taylor Swift is known as a woman who gets behind other women—from her support of once-emerging talent like HAIM and Phoebe Bridgers, to her outspoken reproaches of slut shaming and her re-recordings designed to reclaim her songs from years of male ownership. But she’s also a discerning musician, and while she would never say anything nasty about another celebrity (well, not unless it was coded in a song), when she publicly calls a female pop star the artist of summer, we absolutely listen.
Her newest endorsement: Sabrina Carpenter, who actually opened for Taylor on tour last year.
