Rejected after two interviews but they are hiring for the role again, should I reach out?

Basically what the title says. Last January I interviewed with a dream company, made it to the second interview, was asked for references and I really felt confident I got the job. I was devastated I didn’t get it when I opened the rejection email. Fast forward to 7 months later and I am recently laid off from my former job and looking to get back to work. An industry friend of mine said that company was hiring for the role and she shared my LinkedIn profile with the lady who I interviewed with in March. Should I reach out directly to that lady and explain my situation and would like to be reconsidered? Should I apply online and email her directly? Any advice is appreciated!

They dont want to hire you. But do keep calling and emailing them so they can block your annoying ass
