The interpolation was approved by Taylor’s team and Olivia even credited Taylor and her co-writers on the track. However, weeks later, Taylor was added as a writer to Olivia’s other song, Déjà Vu.
According to sources, an interpolation of Taylor’s other song Cruel Summer was used in Déjà Vu. Sources claim Taylor’s team requested additional royalties.
Another source refutes the claim Taylor’s team asked for additional royalties.
Later, Taylor’s friend Haley Williams, from Paramore, was retroactively credited as a songwriter on Olivia’s other hit Good 4 U, because of alleged similarities it shared with the band’s 2007 song Misery Business.
As a result, Olivia had to give up millions to Taylor, Haley, and the other writers.
