celeb news Olivia Rodrigo talks about plagiarism, doesn’t confirm or deny Vampire is about Tay

[KatyPrismSpirit]

Oh honey the mess is here. In the Guardian Olivia discusses the plagiarism allegations that surrounded her debut. She confirmed Taylor and Jack got 50% of deja vu royalties (which is insane Taylor & Jack need to be ashamed for that wtf) and Paramore got 50% from good 4 u (also a joke). 

 

It seems like Taylor and Olivia’s feud is still as hot as it ever was, given the context of Olivias response about Taylor!

 

Quote

Some fans are convinced that Vampire – specifically the yelled “bloodsucker, fame fucker, bleedin’ me dry like a goddamn vampire!” – is about Swift, especially given that signs of their budding friendship vanished after the credits issue. (Swift recently invited Sabrina Carpenter, the rumoured other party in the Drivers License heartbreak, to support her Eras tour.) “How do I answer this?” Rodrigo whispers at the table when I ask her. “I mean, I never want to say who any of my songs are about. I’ve never done that before in my career and probably won’t. I think it’s better to not pigeonhole a song to being about this one thing.” She laughs nervously (she often laughs nervously). “I was very surprised when people thought that.”

She can have her opinion, even the most negative one.

Here is some more context from the interview:

 

Quote

Also the antithesis of creativity: the current climate where inspiration can quickly become a copyright issue. Sour was plagued by it: after listeners noted similarities between Rodrigo’s song Deja Vu (an ecstatic skewering of her ex for rehashing their favourite pastimes with his new girlfriend) and Taylor Swift’s Cruel Summer, as well as between her Good 4 U and Paramore’s Misery Business, Rodrigo ended up giving both acts 50% of the credits and royalties for the respective tracks. (Elvis Costello was more sanguine about her song Brutal’s echoes of his Pump It Up: “It’s how rock and roll works,” he tweeted in response to criticism of her. “You take the broken pieces of another thrill and make a brand new toy.” See also Rodrigo’s prescient yell in Deja Vu: “Everything is all reused!”)

At the time, she said it was “disappointing to see people take things out of context and discredit any young woman’s work”. Did the potential for similar scrutiny make her second-guess writing Guts? She grows vague. “I was so green as to how the music industry worked, the litigious side … I feel like now I know so much more about the industry and I just feel … better equipped in that regard. It wasn’t something I thought about too much.”

Mind you Taylor is the same woman that stated: “There is going to be people along the way that will take credit for your accomplishments and for your fame” in her AOTY 2016 speech…

 

just to discredit a young female artist and take 50% of the royalties of a song she did not even write. Taylor Swift is so fake.

[Peak Now]

I ******* knew this non-response of an answer would show up here lmao. Anyway I hope this serves whatever narrative y'all stick to!

[Michael196]

Can you stick to your fave and her toilet photoshoots and stay out of the business of actual stars that the world is currently interested in, your obsession is absolutely disturbing, like I know that this hurts

I'm taking that as her not writing this with Tay in mind

The way you have been spreading misinformation KatyPrismSpirit  there are 2 more wirters credited on that song because of CS

 

Also Jack literally said he wasn't aware about the credit , if Taylor and her team did it , he would be aware

You literally have been trying a lot lately maybe focus on your actual fav that would be better

If it wasn’t she would’ve said so in the article. Now she is letting the narrative run along which means there is some truth behind it.

[iamanearthling]

The Taylor print!

[Rep2000]

Some kats are never gonna beat that success stan allegation I see. The way they are already latching on Olivia just to pit her against Taylor is so obvious and shameful tbh.
Trust and believe we would never see them in Olivia's album threads

Are we surprised that a star of her stature doesn’t have the time to think like these delusional internet trolls?

Jack might’ve not been aware because Taylor demanded the writers credit? Cruel Summer is Taylor Swift’s song. Do you really think out of the blue 50% of the royalties are split? If jack wasnt aware that further proofs Taylor was likely the one that demanded credit. Or it was St. Vincent but that was literally a co-writer on a few parts of the song.

Olivia and Dan ***** should've been original and not "borrow" from another song (and they're literally on record admitting they borrowed from Cruel Summer), they wouldn't have give up royalties from the song  if it wasn't true surely they could've dispute it on court or in the press.

 

Worse than discrediting someone's work, is stealing someone's work I fear.

 

PS:Why is Dan last name censored here

That song all 3 as credited and yes if only you did some research

 

Jack publishing rights are owned by a different firm which is what most likely led to this

 

Firms are very notorious with credit situation , your fav literally struggled with this herself and you here making conspiracies

stay on topic with your fanfics sis. I’ve been anticipating Olivias album like crazy btw. Sharing an article is latching on? Delulu

[Klein]

So all we have is "I was surprised when people thought that"? 

[Relampago.]

Scary response

[FolkLover1989]

OP , some Olives and some OTHs are trying too hard 

 

Nobody is saying Taylor and Olivia are friends and frankly they don't need to be

 

If Taylor actually did bad to Taylor , Olivia wouldn't be wearing Red Ring given by Taylor even now but then again how will OP know that , they stan Olivia for a very weird reason , the lesser said the better 

[KingWitch]

She kinda used Taylor for the fanbase then discarded her once she didn't need her , huh?  Nice marketing strategy though.

That is called being inspired. Nothing is ever 100% completely original in music. Some people in the music industry are just money hungry, which is probably the reason as to where they are now.
