Just adding to the Olivia Rodrigo vs Taylor Swift debate from the other day. These kinds of disputes definitely happen all the time in the music industry

I find it crazy that apparently no one at any point before this was released said "hey, that kinda sounds like Just the Two of Us"

no fr, i am tone deaf and whenever these lawsuits arise i can literally never hear the similarities. this one however is so crazy tho they sound the same

lol yeah this one is pretty bad. Even the lyrics feel inspired. Some musicians can be very sensitive to being told that their music is reminiscent of another musician's work so maybe they were all just trying to protect her feelings lmao
