Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift’s mutual admiration came to an abrupt end after that Déjà vu copyright drama back in 2021, and the pop star finally spoke about it publicly.
In a new interview, the 23-year-old musician was asked how the online speculation and theories affected her back when Swift was rumored to have filed a lawsuit against her.
The driving license hitmaker said, “I guess I tried not to let it get to me or get upset about it. I guess I just try to keep it in trucks. It was so long ago. I guess there’s no point in harping on it,” during the New York Times’ Popcast interview.
Rodrigo went on to say that she’s always tried to keep her focus on what matters and not hold grudges, saying, “I just try to make songs that I love and try to be kind and good to other people and support other people. I’ve always tried to be like that. At the end of the day, I think that’s all you can do.”
The Vampire singer was one of the biggest swifties in society, often gushing over the Eras Tour artist until theories surfaced that she was copying the Grammy winner.
Rodrigo credited Swift after sampling her song New Year’s Day on her 1 step forward, 3 steps backbut fans claimed that her song Deja Vu used Swift’s Cruel summer without giving her credit.
Subsequent reports surfaced of Swift legally suing Rodrigo for royalties, but the legal situation has not been confirmed by either party.
