Taylor Swift’s new song reminds people of a cheesy ’90s hit (and with good reason)
So Taylor Swift has got a new song out. Which we wouldn’t normally bother you with but, well, have a listen for yourself.
So, @taylorswift13's #LookWhatYouMadeMeDo kindof reminds me of something. Wait for it… pic.twitter.com/oC8RnBFsfQ

And here’s the reason why.
Hang on so the new Taylor Swift song "Look What You Made Me Do" was written by Right Said Fred? pic.twitter.com/YZT46kXX90

Well, co-written, yes. They obviously liked I’m Too Sexy so much that they lifted a bit of it in its entirety.
Or, to use the official language, they decided to include “an interpolation of a melody” from the 1991 number two hit.
Ah yes, takes us right back. What were YOU doing when this came out?
