Is Taylor Swift’s “imgonnagetyouback” just a slowed-down version of Olivia Rodrigo’s “get him back?” After all that drama surrounding Rodrigo’s debut album, Sour, some fans say they’re experiencing a bit of déjà vu with The Tortured Poets Department.
ICYMI: Back in 2021, Rodrigo was seemingly pressured into granting Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff writing credits on her song “deja vu” after telling Rolling Stone that she was inspired by “Cruel Summer” during the writing process. While that might not seem like a big deal on paper, it was a deceptively nuanced and fraught situation that many fans believe fractured the artists’ relationship and inspired Rodrigo’s particularly gut-wrenching track, “The Grudge.” You can read a more in-depth analysis here.
Well, now it looks like the shoe may be on the other foot. Following the release of of The Tortured Poets Department on April 19, fans are suggesting that “imgonnagetyouback” has more in common with “get him back!” by Rodrigo than remarkably similar lower-case titles.
“’imgonnagetyouback’ is good but this is just ‘get him back’ by olivia,” one X.com user noted, while another wondered why Swift released a track that is “conceptually the same” as the one on Rodrigo’s sophomore album.
