The ‘Good 4 U’ hitmaker has given the ‘Evermore’ singer and her collaborators Jack Antonoff and St. Vincent co-writer credits on one of the songs from debut album ‘Sour’.
AceShowbiz –Olivia Rodrigo has added Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff, and St. Vincent as co-writers to the track listing for her song “Deja vu” which was heavily influenced by a track on Swift’s “Lover” album.
The trio co-wrote song “Cruel Summer” which Rodrigo previously admitted had influenced her song, taken from hit album “Sour”.
After releasing “Déjà vu”, the second single off her debut, Rodrigo told Rolling Stone the “yelling” on the bridge of the song was inspired by Swift’s “Lover” track.
Now, according to editors at the publication, she has made the link official, and Swift, Antonoff, and St. Vincent have been added to the track’s Spotify and TIDAL metadata, with credit going to them over the song’s bridge.
This is the second “Sour” track to crib from a Swift-Antonoff collaboration with “1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back” borrowing from the “Reputation” ballad “New Year’s Day”.
While Swift and Rodrigo have a mutual appreciation for one another, they first interacted when Swift acknowledged a cover Rodrigo had done of “Cruel Summer”, and finally met in person at the 2021 BRIT Awards on 17 May (21), sharing a photo of the encounter on Instagram.
However, ahead of the highly-anticipated release of Swift’s re-recorded “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” album, she recruited Rodrigo and Conan Gray to share previously-unheard snippets of the songs across social media.
Olivia Rodrigo broke multiple records with “Sour”. As “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U” topped Billboard Hot 100, “Sour” became the first debut album in history to have chart-topping singles.
In U.K., she became the youngest artist to score a chart double as both “Sour” and “Good 4 U” ruled the charts at the same time.
