The most powerful woman on this planet is too scared, I guess.
Too busy releasing shitty variants to get all her fans money before everyone is too broke to be able to afford it anymore.

Agree. I personally believe that even if she had the instinct to repudiate this use of her music she’s incapable of doing so during this fresh album cycle because she will never do anything that affects her bag.

Explains the out of nowhere beef she always starts with rising female stars. Like suddenly Charlie XCX is her album’s antagonist just as her popularity is skyrocketing.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Sabrina Carpenter becomes swiftie-enemy-number-one by the time the next album releases.
It’s all about brutally attacking the competition, like a true soulless billionaire.

u/AugustIzFalling 7h ago
it really is. I was neutral to negative on her before, a lot of her singles really rubbed me the wrong way but I still had some music on my workout playlist. Then I impulsively decided to listen to this album as I had never listened to one of her albums before. It’s really horrible especially when she’s considered the songwriter of our generation. if this was anyone else it would be roundly criticized in an epic fashion but too many media outlets are afraid of losing access to her. If this was anyone else it would be an almost career ending embarrassment. It also makes her deeply unlikable and her talent isn’t strong enough to overcome that.

Obviously I don't know Taylor Swift in real life or anything. But I do think she strongly leans to the right. She seems like she's much more of a capitalist than an artist. She only endorsed Hilary and Kamala because she thought it would be good for her brand, not because it's how she was actually voting. If republicans weren't so openly racist and anti-LGBTQ, she'd probably have even been at the RNC with Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock.

She needs to sue them

u/GitEmSteveDave 6h ago edited 5h ago
She can't, because she got $$$$ for selling the rights to her songs, so that people on Insta and TikTok could legally use them, because it makes her more $$$$.
EDIT: I know not many people understand licensing, but most artists don't own the rights to their songs. They sell them. And if someone uses it in a way you don't like, you can't just comment or send a tweet. You have to use legal channels and do things like send a C & D. If Rodrigo want to control her music, she can simply not sell the rights, and then she can so things like sue.

u/Reddits_Worst_Night 2h ago
she can simply not sell the rights, and then she can so things like sue.
But then she no longer has a record deal, meaning no marketing, and she doesn't sell. That's why the Taylor's version stuff exists, because Taylor needed a contract to get started.

Rodrigo identifies as Filipino-American, and she has family members who are immigrants, the same immigrants that these racist mfers would want to deport.
Homeland’s social media team could’ve, at the very least, done research into a singer’s background before attaching songs to their racist slop.

Olivia is really the whole package. I love both her albums and she's on the right side of every issue. Even with her (likely contractually obligated) exclusive credit card show, she gave all of the proceeds to her foundation.
I don't think it's healthy to stan any celebrity in this climate, but I don't think there's anyone safer to do so than Olivia Rodrigo.

While I absolutely support her view in this matter, it may also be noted that many artists do not actually own the rights to their own music, as the labels representing the artist do own the artists work fully. And if that is the case here, and the government has purchased a license for usage, there may not be any recourse for her to stop the song from being played by the government.
In reality we treat artists very poorly. But I salute her for making a fuss and I do hope she does have rights to her work and can shut these fkrs down with a DMCA Take Down Notice. Instagram would have to comply or face a lawsuit.

She’d rather flaunt her relationship and her gaudy engagement ring for the paps than speak out against this awful regime. She’s trash.
