Olivia Rodrigo’s AI cover of Taylor Swift’s ‘I Hate It Here’ goes viral

Recently, online discussions have been centered around concerns regarding AI-generated tracks that violate artists' rights by replicating their voices without permission.

An Artificial Intelligence-generated Olivia Rodrigo cover of Taylor Swift's "I Hate It Here,"  from her deluxe album, "The Anthology," has gone viral on TikTok. 

The "cover" has also sparked discussion online, especially given the ongoing tensions between Swift and Rodrigo.

The sound presently has over 1,500 videos on TikTok, with some videos already garnering over 200,000 likes. 

Their dispute began when Rodrigo was required to pay 50% of the profits from her song "deja vu" after Swift and her team claimed copyright. 

This led to speculation when Swift's name seemed to disappear from Rodrigo's public comments. 

However, their apparent feud appeared to soften at this year's Grammys when Swift was seen enjoying Rodrigo's live performance of "Vampire," her third debut number-one hit single.

Despite fans interpreting Swift's enthusiasm as a gesture of reconciliation, it remains unclear if Rodrigo saw it that way. 

The conflict intensified with the release of Swift's latest song, "imgonnagetyouback," from "The Anthology." Some argue that this track, with its contextual and stylistic differences from the rest of the album, bears a resemblance to Rodrigo's "get him back" from "GUTS."

As Rodrigo, 21, continues her GUTS World Tour until August 17th, Swift, 34, is gearing up to start the European leg of her Eras tour in Paris on May 9th.
