Taylor $wift Samples Lana Del Rey - OH and Britney and Pamela A. Too! ... but no credit given?

Checking out Taylor’s new lead single today - after about 10 seconds in (music not lyrics) … i could not place it at first - but something seemed very familiar! i thought of it and found it - LANA! it’s an unreleased song that i guess does not have a copyright!? so it was sampled but she has given no credit - seems bizarre

Taylor Swift - The Fate of Ophelia

LANA Unreleased song - Queen of Disaster

what do we think??

thanks :slight_smile:

OH i think i first heard of lana years and years ago via VC!

"A source claims Britney Spears has accused Swift of borrowing from her “iconic” stage wardrobe without acknowledgment, and feels “ripped off.” "

Great catch. I also though the instrumental sounded somewhat similar to “Pumped Up Kicks”

I thought some parts sounded like Madonna’s Like a Prayer.

I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff on Reddit about her using/copying other artists’. Specifically with this Showgirl album.

wow this was in a review of the showgirl album - had anyone heard of this?! I had not until this review!
“Many of the songs here do benefit from following Martin’s signature “melodic math,” in which the words are required to fit exactly to the music in ways that enhance their listenability tenfold, a discipline Swift ignored on many recent albums. Still, there are just as many standout melodic hooks on songs she’s written with Jack Antonoff and others in the past eight years.”
