Fans have theorized that Olivia Rodrigo’s song ‘Vampire’ is about Taylor Swift after rumors circulated that there was a feud between them. Speaking with The Guardian, Rodrigo shared her thoughts on the rumor saying, “I was very surprised when people thought that…” “I never want to say who any of my songs are about. I’ve never done that before in my career and probably won’t. I think it’s better to not pigeonhole a song to being about this one thing”, said Rodrigo. Speculation that the song is about Swift arose from the lyrics, “Bloodsucker, fame f****r, bleedin’ me dry like a goddamn vampire”. In 2021, Rodrigo gave partial songwriting credits and royalties from her song ‘Deja Vu’ to Swift due to similarities to her 2019 hit single ‘Cruel Summer.’ Rodrigo shared that she was “so green” to the “litigious side” of the music industry but now at the age of 20 feels “better equipped”.
