Reapplying after application has been closed

I recently applied to MBB BA role after talking to a current BA and a recruiter at the office I want to work at. Both conversations I had with them sounded hopeful and that I could potentially be a good fit as an experienced hire. I made some adjustments to my resume and applied to the position. Less than 24 hours later, I got an email saying that my application is no longer being considered. Later that same day, I received an email that one of the people I spoke with made a referral for me and invited me to apply.

Should I reapply now that I have the referral? Or is it a bad look since my application was already closed? I feel like they closed it so quickly that I wasn’t even really considered. And now that I have a referral, I have a better chance of them actually reviewing me as a candidate.
