Taylor Swiftis continuing to work on her craft even on her birthday!

On Tuesday, the “Love Story” songstress shared a photo of herself and the Grammy-Award-winning producerJack Antonoffhanging out together in a music studio during her special day.

“Thanks for all the beautiful wishes today!!” she wrote in the Instagram caption. “I spent my 33rd birthday in the studioof course 😏 Wouldn’t have it any other way. Love you!”

In the photo, Swift can be seen holding up three fingers on each hand to mark her 33rd birthday milestone with a double bass resting on her lap as she sits on a wooden floor.

Antonoff, 38, meanwhile, sits in a chair next to her in the snapshot while holding a guitar as he poses for the camera.

During her appearance withThe Banshees of Inisherindirector Martin McDonagh for theVariety Directors on Directorsinterview, Swift talked in-depth about her creative process behind the project, sharing the short film was a direct reflection of heartbreak she endured in her early 20s, and thatshe’s enjoyed the chance to revisit that period in her life.

“Emotionally, I was going through exactly what the short film depicts, and I think that time is such an incredible asset to use when we have these stories that are hard to tell in the moment,” she said. “Because it’s good if a story is hard to tell, that means it’s incredibly emotionally potent, but it’s impossible to tell it with perspective and truth if you’re in it sometimes.”

Swift added that she found it “exciting” to reflect on that period of her life now that she’s in her 30s.

“I think there’s a moment when you’re 19 or 20 where your heart is so, so susceptible to just getting broken, getting shattered and your sense of self goes out the window so quickly and it’s such a formative age,” she told McDonagh, 52. “I wanted to tell that story, too, about sort of girlhood calcifying into this bruised adulthood.”
