Taylor Swift and Diane Warren first collaborated on a track called "Say Don't Go" almost a decade ago, but the song wasn't able to make it to the final cut of "1989." More recently, the pop star dropped the re-recorded version of the album, and the legendary songwriter was happy that the song is included in the official tracklist.

To honor the songwriter, Swift gave her a very special gift which the musician shared on social media platforms.

According to Pop Crave, Warren received a bouquet of flowers from Swift herself with a sweet letter. In the photo, a note could be seen placed on top of the elegant white flower arrangement.

The note reads: "Diane, It was a dream come true to write with you. I hope you love "Say Don't Go" as much as I do!! Sending the biggest hug to you! Love, Taylor."

In the caption of her post, Warren said she just got the flowers from the singer. She added: "If U want to know why she is the biggest artist on the planet, this kind of kind gesture is one more reason why."

Diane Warren Gave an Insight About Writing 'Say Don't Go' With Taylor Swift 9 Years Ago

The legendary songwriter recently spoke in an interview with Rolling Stone where she discussed about the songwriting process of the song "Say Don't Go" that never made it to the final cut of the original version of "1989."

"Everything has its time, you know? It took a while to see the light of day, but I'm glad it finally did... It was worth the wait," she told the outlet.

The outlet noted that Warren usually writes songs alone, but for this collaboration, the two of them worked on it together from scratch.

She praised Swift for being keen with details as she was "very particular about how she said certain things" and it was a "really interesting experience" for her.

"She's deeply aware of how her fans want to hear something. I can't explain it, but that's probably why she's the biggest f****** star in the world," she added.

Diane Warren Heard the Song for the First Time on New Year's Day

After writing the song together, Swift played the song for her through her guitar and it was New Year's Day. Despite everyone being on holiday, she was impressed with the pop star for showing up.

Following this, she had no idea with what direction the song was headed to and she was curious about it.

Then finally, hours before the release of "1989 (Taylor's Version)" she got the chance to hear the final version which she considered "awesome."
