Okay, Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift fans, are you ready for this plot twist? It looks like one of Tay’s latest tracks from “The Tortured Poet’s Department” is causing controversy among Olivia Rodrigo’s fanbase! The name of the bop? T-Swift’s song “imgonnagetyouback,” which allegedly plagiarizes “get him back!” from Oliva’s 2023 album “GUTS.”
Now, flashback to three years ago: Olivia Rodrigo was enjoying her early success with “deja vu,” giving some serious Taylor Swift vibes. Back then, she had to fork over songwriting credits and a chunk of royalties to Tay-Tay’s team for its similarities to “Cruel Summer.” But boom! Today, Oliva’s squad is serving tea with this alleged plagiarism allegations.
This lyrical resemblance has fans meme-ing every single moment across social media platforms. Fanbases are taking sides and will be sure to drop bombs to protect their divas! In contrast, both songstresses have kept it cool. Olivia Rodrigo herself played peacemaker, saying “I don’t have beef with anyone. I’m very chill. I keep to myself.”
One thing’s for sure: today’s muse can be tomorrow’s courtroom news. But, what’s your take, do you really think these two tracks sound all that similar?
