How Taylor Swift reacted to Olivia Rodrigo’s Grammys performance after bitter feud rumors
[ad_1]
No bad blood here.
Taylor Swift sang and danced along to Olivia Rodrigo’s performance of “Vampire” at the 2024 Grammy Awards on Sunday — officially putting rumors of their feud to rest.
Rodrigo was a self-proclaimed massive Swiftie until the summer of 2021 when she gave both Swift, and frequent Swift songwriting partner Jack Antonoff, writing credits on her debut album “Sour.” One credit was on Rodrigo’s song “1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back,” which contains an interpolation of Swift’s “New Year’s Day.” The other credit was for the track “Deja Vu,” which uses the same scream-style vocals as Swift’s “Cruel Summer.”
After that, Rodrigo, 20, stopped publicly gushing over Swift, 34, and many fans believed she wrote her 2023 song “The Grudge” on the album “Guts,” about the “Anti-Hero” singer.
But, all of that appeared to be water under the bridge on Sunday when the camera panned to Swift out of her seat, singing along to Rodrigo’s Grammy-nominated hit.
“Now can we put the hate and rumors to rest that they have beef?” one fan tweeted. “Oh she’s debunking those rumors!!!” another wrote of Swift’s olive branch. “Taylivia is alive & well,” a third fan celebrated.

“A GIRL’S GIRL,” another declared of Swift.
No images have been released showing the pair together on the red carpet or inside the Crypto.com Arena, but Rodrigo was filmed enthusiastically applauding after Swift won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album.
Last year, the Guardian asked Rodrigo about the theory that “Vampire” is about Swift.
“How do I answer this?” she replied.
“I mean, I never want to say who any of my songs are about,” Rodrigo explained. “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 … I was very surprised when people thought that.”
Rodrigo and Swift both received six Grammy nods for the 2024 awards.
Swift won the Best Pop Vocal award on Sunday night — her lucky 13th award — and announced her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” out April 19.
Last year, Rodrigo attempted to squash Swift beef rumors during an interview with Rolling Stone for a September 2023 cover story
“I don’t beef with anyone,” she said. “I’m very chill. I keep to myself. I have my four friends and my mom, and that’s really the only people I talk to, ever. There’s nothing to say. There’s so many Twitter conspiracy theories. I only look at alien conspiracy theories.”
