Luckitty Posted November 1 Posted November 1 Elvis Costello told Vanity Fair he wouldn't sue or demand credit from Olivia Rodrigo over similarities between her song "Brutal" and his "Pump It Up," calling it ridiculous. — "Now, I did not find any reason to go after them legally for that, because I think it would be ludicrous. It's a shared language of music. Other people clearly felt differently about other songs on that record." 5 2 2
RobynYoBank Posted November 1 Posted November 1 Good for him, but he's also not a female pop star in the 21st century who has to contend with decades of stereotypes about manufactured female pop stars who are the product of writing camps and record labels to establish their credibility as an artist and songwriter. 1 5 5

He rightfully shaded multimillionaire artists who felt the need to take a bite of a teenager's bag. No need to pull the victim card every single time chile. An artist can speak about other artists. Period. 4 12 2

Hunter_13 Posted November 1 Posted November 1 This is so tiring. Jack has literally said time and time again that him, Taylor, and Annie didn't request nor sue for credits. He has literally said he woke up to emails one day from his publisher stating they were being credited. But of course the demented atrlers on here would rather believe Taylor actually went after this girl. 2

Shinkirou Posted November 1 Posted November 1 If I were Olivia I would've risked the lawsuit. With how obsessed Taylor is about her image, you could bet anything she would've done something to stop this "IP investment". And even if it was true that her hands were tied like her stans claim, Olivia would've won the lawsuit, because to anyone who has ears there's simply no case. 3 2

No one has produced any evidence of this at all. I remember at one stage the Swifties were trying to blame Annie Clark, even though she would only be getting 5% of the publishing rights. 3 4
Feanor Posted November 1 Posted November 1 The way there's no evidence of Taylor suing or threatening Olivia for credits, yet people still run with this lie.
Taylor fanboy Posted November 1 Posted November 1 I mean, I, a stan who had nothing to do with the songs, am team Olivia here but Elvis is serving pick me energy here.

They had a case to begin with because of Olivia saying herself, accross multiple interviews, that Deja Vu's bridge was inspired by Cruel Summer.

Feanor Posted November 1 Posted November 1 Just now, OrgVisual said: And there's no evidence of Taylor didn't do it either. People just react to what Elvis said: "Now, I did not find any reason to go after them legally for that, because I think it would be ludicrous. It's a shared language of music. Other people clearly felt differently about other songs on that record." So there's no official evidence that any legal action happened from either side, nor does Elvis name any names or brings up any proof, yet people still find a way to blame Taylor based on… vibes? The way both Olivia and Taylor have moved on from this and shown each other support at the Grammys, and ATRLers still find ways to pit them against each other.
