Olivia Rodrigo is ‘very surprised’ that fans speculated hit track Vampire was written about rumored feud with Taylor Swift

Olivia Rodrigo revealed she was “very surprised” that fans suspected her hit song, Vampire, was written about a rumored Taylor Swift feud.

The former Disney star, 20, who will travel to Australia to promote her second album called Guts, briefly addressed the mounting speculation in an article published by The guard on Saturday.

When the topic came up, the singer initially wondered, “How am I supposed to answer this?” and continued, “I mean, I never want to say who my songs are about.”

She added, “I’ve never done that before in my career and probably won’t. I think it’s better not to pigeonhole a song that’s about this one thing. I was very surprised when people thought that.’

Some lyrics that raised fans’ eyebrows included, “As you sank your teeth into me, oh/Bloodsucker, famef***er/Bleedin’ me dry, like a godd**n vampire.”

Both Olivia and Taylor first crossed paths in 2021 and seemingly a budding friendship was born as Rodrigo’s music career started to take off.

She told it before Billboard that same year the Bad Blood hitmaker had written to her after releasing hits like Driver’s License.

“I don’t want to give too much away, because it’s very sweet and personal. But she talks a lot about how, I think, you make your own luck in the world. And when you do kind things for others, good things will come your way,” the actress explained.

However, in the following years, fans began to speculate that all was not well within their friendship when the duo stopped hanging out.

In 2021, Olivia released her album Sour and faced copyright issues with some songs including Deja Vu.

The star had re-recorded a melody from Taylor’s Cruel Summer, leading Rodrigo to later give both co-writing credits and royalties to Swift. She later faced a similar situation with Paramore.

“I love Cruel Summer. That’s one of my favorite songs ever. I love the screamy voice in it, the harmonized screaming she does. I feel like they’re super electric and moving, so I wanted to do something like that,” the beauty shared Rolling stone also in 2021.

Vampire is included on Rodrigo’s upcoming second studio album, titled Guts, due out later this month on September 8th.

Released earlier on June 30, the single quickly became a fan favorite, jumping to the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Other tracks on the LP include All-American B***h, The Grudge, Bad Idea Right? and also Teen Dream. While speaking to The Guardian, she discussed the songs on Guts, such as All-American B***h.

“I’ve been experiencing a lot of emotional turmoil because of all these feelings of anger and dissatisfaction that I couldn’t express, especially in my job,” she told the outlet.

“I’ve always had the feeling: you can never admit it, you always have to be so grateful, so many people want this position.”

She added, “And that causes a lot of repressed feelings. I’ve always struggled with wanting to be the perfect American girl and the reality that I don’t always feel that way.”

Olivia hinted that the entire album is “so much about growing up and finding your footing in the world.”

The Happier hitmaker has enjoyed his time in a variety of cities, recently enjoying his time in London and Berlin while promoting Guts. She will later visit Sydney, Australia to attend a Q&A session with fans on September 22.

The High School Musical: The Musical actress jumped to her main Instagram page on Saturday with photos capturing special moments over the past few days.

In an instant, the beauty showed off her toned frame in a stylish white bikini and paired the eye-catching look with a black jacket. She also added a chic black hat on top of her brunette locks as she posed in front of a plain white wall.

The singer donned black sunglasses and donned a pair of white crew socks and black pumps.

Another photo was taken with Olivia lying on the floor, wearing a black and white striped tank top and a black miniskirt. She held up several number one cards as she paused for the photo.

The artist also snapped a slightly blurry selfie in a dimly lit car while enjoying a sweet lollipop.

Rodrigo stopped at a photo booth with a close friend, and the two struck a variety of funny poses seen in black and white photos. She also added an image of her feet sticking out from under the curtain in the photo booth.

Finally, the star got a chance to show off her vocal skills with karaoke and shared a photo of a screen with the lyrics to ABBA’s song Dancing Queen. In the post’s caption, Olivia simply added a few bowling emojis.
