Overview
- Rodrigo told The New York Times' Popcast in late May that she "doesn't really read too far into" feud rumors and that gossip "comes with the territory."
- The speculation traces back to 2021 when Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff and St. Vincent were added retroactively to Rodrigo's song "Deja Vu," a credit change that drew wide attention.
- Rodrigo also retroactively credited Hayley Williams and Josh Farro on "Good 4 U" after fans noted similarities to Paramore's "Misery Business," with some reports saying those credit changes cost her substantial royalties.
- Stories that Swift sued Rodrigo have circulated in some outlets but legal action has not been confirmed by either artist or their teams.
- Rodrigo, who is preparing a new album for release next month, says she learned to detach from online theories to protect her mental health and will focus on writing and treating others kindly while industry crediting practices remain a broader unresolved issue.
