Taylor Swift says she is "never not inspired" by Sir Paul McCartney.
The Anti-Hero hitmaker has thrown her support behind the Beatles legend's new album The Boys of Dungeon Lane, which was released last week, and hailed his "exceptional" talents.
Sharing a post from Sir Paul promoting the record, she wrote on her own Instagram Story: "Never not inspired by this eternally exceptional artist."
The feeling of respect is mutual between the two stars, with the Hey Jude icon recently compared Taylor to the Fab Four because she's reached a level of fame similar to the hysteria around The Beatles in the mid-60s.
Appearing on BBC Radio 2's Tracks of My Years, Sir Paul was asked if he would give any advice to Taylor.
He replied: "You do see the parallel, you know the fame and the amount of fame and the worldwide fame that Taylor Swift has and that we had, but I don't think she needs any advice to tell you the truth...
"If she asked for it, I definitely would. I'm like the older brother to that generation, or more like the granddad, actually."
Sir Paul went on to reveal he met Taylor at a party organised by his wife Nancy Shevell and his daughter, fashion designer Stella McCartney, which was also attended by a number of other female pop stars including Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter - and the Beatles star admitted he was full of admiration for them all.
He said: "I did meet [her] ... We had a party, my wife and my daughter Stella, are very good at getting cool people to a party and I ended up chatting to them all.
"There was Taylor, there was Billie Eilish, there was Olivia Rodrigo, there was Sabrina Carpenter, you know they're really cool people, they're very good.
"I like their voices ... If they need any advice, yeah, I would be happy to give it, but I don't think they do."
Meanwhile, it's been confirmed this week that Taylor has written an original song for Toy Story 5.
She wrote and produced new track I Knew It, I Knew You with long-time collaborator Jack Antonoff, and fans will get to hear the tune for the first time when it drops on June 5.
The single will also appear on the official Toy Story 5 soundtrack when it arrives on June 19.
Taylor has also launched three exclusive CD editions through her official website, each featuring a different version of the song - the film version, an acoustic take, and a piano rendition - all with alternate vocals and production.
Taylor’s new track draws directly from Jessie’s storyline in the upcoming film, tapping into the cowgirl’s emotional highs and lows.
Announcing the news on Instagram, she wrote: “It’s a Toy Story. You knew it! My new original song ‘I Knew It, I Knew You’ for Disney and @pixar’s @toystory 5 will be yours on June 5th…
"I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5‑year‑old kid watching the first Toy Story movie…
"I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?”
