Taylor also praised Phoebe's ability to pen songs about grief.
She added: "To write about grief with such vulnerability and detail, and to trust the listener with this much honesty. Happy bday @phoebebridgers I love you!! (sic)"
Earlier this month, Phoebe - whose previously solo album was 2020's Punisher - told how her new record took "forever" to make.
Speaking to fans during a question-and-answer session, she said about her years-long hiatus: "I mean, I didn’t love all parts of being away."
Phoebe explained that her creative urges would come and go in spurts.
As a result, the singer has taken "forever" to create her latest album.
She said: "I kept booking studio time and then putting it off ... and booking studio time and putting it off, and putting it off ... I really wanted to be making something.
"So I just started going in and then taking six months off and then going (back). So this album took forever. Which is great!"
