What Happened Between Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo?

Studied music my whole life. Work in recording industry and classically trained. Sampling Is not the same as interpolation. sampling is using part of a pre-recorded track and requires permission (and usually a fee) before a song is published. interpolation is closer to inspiration and can include re-recording part of a melody from a different song and does not require giving any financial credit. Nobody owns chords, if Taylor Swift called me up and said I needed to give her credit due to chords I would laugh in her face. Whilst Taylor has huge success, is clearly business savvy, and writes catchy songs they are not musically complex or extremely original, Olivia was naive and shouldn't have given up any credits--Taylor absolutely sees her as a threat because she is

On 2021 taylor was 31 ans she really felt insecure by a 18 years old olivia rodrigo replacing her.. She is so cunning. Olivia all the way ❤

Can’t help but think Taylor let Sabrina open for her tour bc she doesn’t want olive surpassing her so she’s pushing Sabrina .. we know Sabrina doesn’t have the pull Olivia does idk

Kinda crazy to think Taylor made Sabrina her opening act on tour....

I am livie and swiftie and I support both , I dont think people should focus on drama , they should focus on the talent

Why don't you play both songs so we can hear how much Olivia copied Taylor? You're avoiding the real issue by suggesting Taylor took the top spot to spite Olivia. Olivia stole from Taylor and had to pay for it. That's the story.

I will love olivia forever ❤

You don’t make it as big as Taylor without stepping on a few people to get to the top! They care more about money & fame then actually being the good person / girls - girl she claims to be

I never thought Taylor was this super nice girls girl . She gloms on to any up and coming signer makes sure they don’t surpass her!

Wow I hope no other Taylor fans are trying to make it big Taylor will claim she inspired their music and want credit for that too

Unlike most of them she actually writes her own music and Taylor and others try to take that from her. So f up

Taylor is giving money white privilege. I stopped listening to Taylor when she pulled her music off of Spotify. I just don’t like her anymore don’t listen to her either. She is making more money on “Taylor’s version” which is alright I guess but it just seems like she is just trying to milk money from everyone at this point. And now she has a movie out about her tour. She is giving Kris Jenner vibes with these opportunities and music releases and these PR relationships.

I just saw a guy play like 10 songs on the piano using the same 4 chords (I’m sure other people have seen this ad too) I don’t know how you can get upset and demand writing rights for chords unless they are super distinct like Vanilla Ice vs Queen’s opening chords 🤷‍♀️

Any way I prefer that in a good singer than in people who does not have talent , and anyway are in the charts , sometimes i heard some songs that I do not believed how they got to the number 1

I think that music now is a business and as so , is very competitive , so I believe that for Taylor stay so long in the charts is not only the music and her songs , it is strategy , she is good business woman as well.

Well Taylor is right for wanting the credits of the songs which Olivia clearly approved she used Taylor’s samples or whatever

Oh, wow

Katy wasn’t wrong about sheep’s clothing.

That’s hlla dirty. Fuuuck. What happened to women standing up for women?!!

No, they are trying to Bully Olivia with all those lawsuits threats

it’s like little kim with nicki
it’s like nicki towards cardi b
it’s like taylor with olivia

history repeats itself

Magic mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?

Taylor really is petty and a master manipulator!

Taylor swift SUCKS HER MUSIC IS NOT EVEN GOOD

Personally im liking mileys new album most out of the 3

Taylor is very calculated

it interesting to follow the Taylor and Olivia's face off in the coming years. Olivia is a real threat because she is a better singer and writes songs as good and maybe better than Taylor. Unlike Katy who didnt write songs.

Taylor Swift is a greedy snake her team has Taylor's blessing so they went after this girl for 50% of royalties and then she's such a cheapskate that she even got royalties for her own songwriter so she wouldn't have to pay for future songs probably Olivia doesn't have the money to take her to court so they just gave it to her cuz she doesn't want to get blackballed

Did shaggy credit juice newton’s “angel of the morning”?

9 months after this video, she does it again on two songs with 2 miley cyrus songs. Now its not an accident lol

Taylor is a mean B***

Olivia's songwriting is better than Taylor's.

You sound like a Taylor anti though

Olivia have vocal advantage over Taylor and that kinda make her insecure

Oivia is already a superstar,she will be more successful in future.

even if taylor and her team didnt ask for any credits, they could have still declined it.

Olivia is very talented and deserves to be successful

You r very much biased and anti Taylor. Dislike

Music Industry politics can be brutal/vicious. Artists have huge egos. Taylor is the Establishment, she's all about $$Benjamins$$ Olivia should add seasoned insiders to her team. Current team is green/naive.

Taylor crushed her and threw her to the curb. Wow. Hiring Sabrina was the ultimate middle finger to Olivia 🤫🧛‍♀️

It's like writing a paper in college give credits to the source or else face the consequences. I'm sure if she had went to her in person before releasing the song and said " hey Taylor or Haley, I'm gonna do this.....". There would be no issues. Just give credit where its due.

Of course Taylors team is going to take legal action when millions are on the line- any artist will. As far as release dates- it's completely up to Taylor and her team, and my guess is, that if Olivia has irritated her by trying to cut her out of money that is rightfully her's. well, Taylor, she doesn't get sad, she gets even..... so, if she is doing something about release dates, again, nothing a gazillion other artists haven't done. YOU sound like just another worn out pretend creator trying to get views off of Taylor's name. And hating on her at the same time. Grow up- if you are going to report on stories, fact check them and be fair, or have all the fan base come after your sad channel. You need to understand she is a human being, and you need to get out and meet some real people, stop talking about others like they are cattle, and level the f up.

Taylor is a mean girl and people don't want to see it

this channel is so sour and immature

Hackyhackhack

I mean, she is competition , and if you had competition would you rather lose money and royalties? Would you give that up to someone else ?. No. Ofc you won’t. You’re going to protect your well-being, and your benefits.

I think it was shifty what happened.

Te quiero Taylooooorrr❤

It seems Olivia was lashing out at people who were seeing the similarities between her music and Taylor's, she credited Taylor after the backlash.

Shut up, Taylor didn't do anything now. Olivia is petty even if I love her.

I like taylor swift and Olivia

But their fans are being toxic says they are the industry but there other good singers too

But im concerned about the rumors making what if they are not true and they still like each other and just busy and the fans starting stuff other celebrities rumors etc

They make me feel like i have to pick a side and I get scared and worried

Im autistic and to have autism i can't process fast nor defend myself normally and stuff

But i love some music Olivia and Taylor made❤

Most of ur information is wrong. Olivia is copied the tune. It’s not a inspiration. Most of the fans of Olivia will tell inspiring and all. Taylor didn’t like it Bcs it’s not only for cruel summer it’s more than that. So please she needs to write her own stuff and new back ground score. Her latest vampire , some portion is a copy from Miley Cyrus see u again. So stop. Just think logically.

All I'm saying if this indeed is a feud, how petty of Taylor, who btw is about to enter her mid 30s, and fighting with a 20 year old? C'mon now!!!

I definitely believe there is beef between these two
