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?
Here’s what the band had to say about it.
Thank you @taylorswift13 ❤️ what a marvellous reinvention! #imtoosexy #lookwhatyoumademedo https://t.co/malXQ8uMQe
