Fans are convinced that this relationship has gone sour—and now there may be further proof.
After Olivia Rodrigo released “The Grudge” on Sept. 8, listeners immediately picked up that it alludes to a supposed feud between the 20-year-old and Taylor Swift.
“I actually have nightmares each week ’bout that Friday in May / One phone call from you and my entire world was modified,” Olivia sings, later adding, “Ooh, your flower’s crammed with vitriol / You built me up to look at me fall / You have got every part and you continue to want more.”
The song—which is a component of her sophomore album Guts—finishes with Olivia, who has previously described herself as a Swiftie, singing, “But even in any case this, you are still every part to me.”
Fans couldn’t help but express their suspicions that “The Grudge” may be in regards to the “Bad Blood” singer.
“And suddenly i’m a ‘the grudge is about taylor swift’ truther,” tweeted one user, while one other added, “Olivia Rodrigo’s recent song ‘The Grudge’ is completely about Taylor Swift, right?”
