A follow up from my last post! - Taylor Swift song!

Today I learned that when it comes to the song “Look what you made me do by Taylor Swift.

I learned that she and the songwriters had to give credit to Right Said Fred, the singers of the 1991 hit, I’m too sexy. This is because of something called interpolation. The chorus to Swift’s song is set to the same melody as I’m too sexy.....

Have a listen and see if you see the similarity!

@SW-User I thought there was a song and they thought she copied and was sued. I might be thinking about Lady Gaga.

Maybe, I guess this is a pretty common issue in music today, not straight up sampling the pierce of music, but using the same melody, which is totally different.

@SW-User ah ok makes sense

Yup, the music industry is riddled with all kinds of red tape about what is copyright and what is not...

Yes, there are music publishers that can check your work, to ensure there is no plagiarism.
