Phoebe Bridgers on her favourite Taylor Swift song: “It’s high art”

Kin said, according to court documents shared by Billboard.In October 2020 Bridgers directed her followers on Instagram to a thread written by her friend Emily Bannon, which Nelson has claimed was defamatory.Nelson subsequently sued the singer for defamation and is currently seeking $3.8million (£2.8million) in damages.
