Girl in Red shares sweet story about exchanging gifts with Taylor Swift

Marie Ulven Ringheim aka "Girl in Red" opened up about the sweet exchange of gifts with popstar Taylor Swift.

The Norwegian singer-songwriter revealed to NME in a recent interview that she has received handmade paintings from Swift in a sweet gift exchange.

Ringheim recalled, "That was right after my first album came out and she reposted my album, and I was like, what the hell? That’s insane," while referencing her 2021 debut If I Could Make It Go Quiet.

The singer said the gift exchange began when she sent Swift her album as a way to say "thank you" for her re-post. 

“I sent her my album as a thank you, and she emailed me being like, ‘Oh my God, you sent me your album. I was just about to order it, that’s so kind of you,'" she said.

In response, Swift promised to send her something in return. “Then she was like, I want to send you something. She sent me some paintings and her vinyl, which I already had, but she’s just a gem, and she’s a very beautiful person," she added.

Detailing the gift she later received from Swift, the girl in red said, "[Swift] made those paintings, and I got them framed, and I got them hung up because it’s her little flowers and my lyrics on there."

"It’s a very cute little thing," she added.

Moreover, she talked of opening for Swift on Eras Tour last year. "It was 100% the coolest opportunity I’ve ever had in my life," she said. 

"And I’m so grateful to Taylor for thinking of some Norwegian girl she listened to. That’s really sick," added the Girl in Red. "She didn’t have to do that, but she did. That’s why she is where she is."
