Olivia Rodrigo has taken the world by storm with her highly anticipated sophomore album titled Guts with fans across the globe praising her for emotional depth which hits hard through the 12 songs. Ever since the album was released on September 8, the fans have been enjoying the tracks for the witty lyrics. However, there is this track number 10 that left the fans speculating about some feud.
The lyrics of ‘The Grudge’, which is the 10th song of the album, says “I have nightmares each week ’bout that Friday in May / One phone call from you and my entire world was changed.” Olivia further sings, “Ooh, your flower’s filled with vitriol / You built me up to watch me fall / You have everything and you still want more.” And, this left the fans thinking that the song may allude to the alleged feud between Olivia and Taylor Swift. However, this may not be true.
Though the relationship between the 20-year-old American singer-songwriter and Taylor Swift had initially started with admiration and mutual support, later it went sour. Now, fans suspect that this song might be a proof of an alleged feud with the ‘Bad Blood’ singer as the track reflects Olivia’s feelings about being let down by someone she once idolized. The track expresses confusion, betrayal, and feeling down due to someone else’s actions.
