Taylor Swift shared a playlist of the songs she loves right now, and yes, the list includes Taylor Swift songs

One of Taylor Swift’s defining characteristics has always been her generosity. She sends flowers to heartbroken fans, bakes cookies for many who come to her house, and boosts the profile of newer artists. On February 5th, the icon continued her streak of the latter by highlighting her current faves on Spotify…and that list does include herself. Yes: Taylor Swift’s Spotify playlist shares the songs she loves today, with a couple songs from her new album mixed in.

As we know, Taylor Swift has long championed self-empowerment, and what better way to represent that than by using her faves playlist to share her own music?

Of course, that’s not *all* that was there. In addition to a few of her tracks from Reputation, the extensive playlist includes music by Dej Loaf, Haux, Kendrick Lamar with SZA, and more. There are 43 songs in total! A variety of genres are represented, and the artists definitely noticed. In fact, their reactions have been extremely cute.

Plug in your headphones and get ready to groove, because Taylor Swift’s new Spotify playlist is right here!

But wait, that’s not all!

Swifties were treated to a double surprise on Monday. In addition to the current faves playlist, the artist posted her first Instagram post (not story) since mid-January. And it is a spectacular one. Witness the majesty of Lieutenant Olivia Benson, cat extraordinaire:

“We are all stretching to prep for that tour cardio,” she wrote. It honestly wouldn’t be hard to believe that Taylor Swift warms up for workouts by copying her cats. If she didn’t work out with her cats, it would be more of a surprise. For real, though, Swift has been more active on social media since the release of Reputation, and we are *here* for it. We totally get her wanting her privacy, of course.

But, even after all these years, we can’t help loving every little peek into the life of Taylor Swift.
