“I don’t know. I tried to not let it get to me or upset me. I think I just try to keep it trucking”: Five years on from their songwriting credit drama, Olivia Rodrigo responds to being asked if she has a frosty relationship with Taylor Swift

Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift.

Olivia Rodrigo is, understandably, keen to talk about her new album, You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love, which will be released on 12 June.

However, during a new interview with The New York Times’ Popcast, hosts Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli couldn’t resist asking her about something that happened at the start of her music career – specifically, the time that she was seemingly forced to give a co-writing credit on one of her early songs to Taylor Swift.
