Olivia Rodrigo revealed she was “very surprised” that fans suspected her hit song “Vampire” was written about an alleged feud between Taylor Swift.
The 20-year-old former Disney star, who will be traveling to Australia to promote her second album, Guts, briefly addressed the mounting speculation in an article published in the Guardian on Saturday.
When the topic was brought up, the singer first asked, “How do I answer that?” and continued, “I mean, I never want to say who any of my songs are about.”
She added: “I’ve never done that in my career and probably won’t.” I think it’s better not to pigeonhole a song as being about that one thing. “I was very surprised when people thought that.”
Lyrics that raised eyebrows among fans included: “When you sunk your teeth into me, oh/Bloodsucker, famousf***er/Bleedin’ me dry, like a godd**n vampire.”

Olivia and Taylor first crossed paths in 2021 and seemingly developed a budding friendship as Rodrigo’s music career began to take off.
She previously told Billboard that same year that the Bad Blood hitmaker wrote to her after she released hits like “Driver’s License.”
“I don’t want to give too much away because it’s really sweet and personal.” But she talks a lot about, I think, making your own luck in the world. And when you do good things for others, good things come your way,” the actress explained.
However, in the following years, fans began to speculate that all was not well with their friendship when the duo were no longer seen together.
In 2021, Olivia released her album Sour and faced copyright issues on some tracks, including Deja Vu.
The star had re-recorded a tune from Taylor’s Cruel Summer, which led Rodrigo to later grant Swift both a co-writer and royalties. She later had a similar situation with Paramore.
“I love Cruel Summer.” This is one of my favorite songs ever. I love the screaming vocals in it, the harmonic screams she makes. I feel like they’re super electric and moving, so I wanted to do something like that,” the beauty also told Rolling Stone in 2021.
Vampire is featured on Rodrigo’s upcoming second studio album titled Guts, due out later this month on September 8th.

The single was released back on June 30th and quickly became a fan favorite, debuting at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Other tracks on the LP include All-American B***h, The Grudge and Bad Idea Right? and also Teenage Dream. While speaking to The Guardian, she discussed the songs on Guts, such as All-American B***h.
“I experienced 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 always felt like you can never admit it, always 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 this perfect American girl and the reality of not always feeling that way.”
