Olivia Rodrigo deflects Taylor Swift credit drama, stays focused on making music

In a New York Times Popcast interview, Olivia Rodrigo says there’s no frost with Taylor Swift and that she’d rather focus on making songs she loves and being kind to others than dwell on past songwriting-credit drama. The piece revisits the Deja Vu credit saga, noting Swift and Jack Antonoff were added as co-writers after the release due to similarities with Swift’s Cruel Summer, and touches on earlier debates around Sour’s tracks. It also highlights Rodrigo’s continued collaborations and friendships in the industry as she promotes her upcoming album.
