On Sunday, Warren, 67, revealed that the pop star, 33, had sent her a bunch of beautiful white flowers to celebrate “Say Don’t Go,” the song they collaborated on 9 years ago that appeared on Friday’s1989 (Taylor’s Version)release.
Sharing asnap of the floral gift— and a furry companion — on X (formerly known as Twitter), the songwriter wrote, “Just got this from @taylorswift13, not the cat I already had that 😻. If U want to know why she is the biggest artist on the planet, this kind of kind and classy gesture is one more reason why #SayDontGo.”
“Say Don’t Go” was one of five “From the Vault” tracks that appeared on1989 (Taylor’s Version).
Warren — who has won multiple awards for her work, including a Grammy and two Golden Globes — has penned classics such asAerosmith’s “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” andCher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time.”
In a new interview withRolling Stonepublished last week, Warren opened up about sitting down with the “Lavender Haze” singer towrite the breakup ballad"from scratch."
“Everything has its time, you know?” said Warren of the song finally being released. “It took a while to see the light of day, but I’m glad it finally did. It was worth the wait.”
