The musician, 38, shared some insight into her close friendship with the “Fortnight” singer, 34, during a recent interview with FASHION, commending Swift on her musical “genius” while discussing the importance of female friendships.
“[Taylor’s] the best and she deserves every accolade that she’s ever had,” Este said of Swift in a video reshared on X (formerly Twitter). “She’s a true genius, and she’s also, like, the best friend and the best hang.”
“We had an amazing time at the US Open … yeah I would do that like a jillion times over again. That was so much fun,” she added.

The Haim sisters — Este, Danielle, 35, and Alana, 32 — have been friends with Swift for several years. The trio collaborated with Swift on songs and during Swift’s Eras Tour.
The group opened for her on select dates of the Eras Tour — and joined her onstage to perform their “No Body, No Crime” colloboration — something which the sisters described as “one of the most exhilarating things we’ve ever had the opportunity to experience.”
“It really felt like a dream,” Este told PEOPLE of getting to perform with Swift. “Not only was she so incredibly welcoming onstage, but her fans embraced us and sang every word.”
The Haim sisters have also supported the 14-time Grammy winner offstage, attending the first of two of her Eras Tour shows at Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. They also made a cameo in Swift’s star-studded “Bejeweled” music video in October 2022 and collaborated with Swift on a remix of their single “Gasoline” in February 2021.
The “Summer Girl” band has also praised Swift for her work ethic on tour. Danielle discussed seeing Swift’s dedication to her work up close firsthand, saying, “seeing how hard she works is insane.”

“She never complains,” she continued. “She’s the most incredible performer, and so inspiring as a friend.”
“She loves what she does,” Este added, noting that she would often spend time with them after her concerts too. “We’d play a show and she would just want to hang out after.”
The band told PEOPLE in December 2023 that despite her hectic work schedule, she still makes sure to prioritize her loved ones.
“She has always put her friends before herself in every situation,” Alana said. “She’s the kind of friend that checks up on us for weeks after a tough breakup and is a shoulder to lean on.”
