my debut album SOUR is out now

Taylor Swift and St. Vincent Are Dropped as Grammy Nominees for Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Sour’ Interpolation

The Recording Academy said a songwriting submission error was responsible for the Swift/St. Vincent/Jack Antonoff interpolation ever having been included in the Rodrigo nomination for album of the year.

Taylor Swift will not be going to the podium, after all, if Olivia Rodigo’s “Sour” beats Swift’s own “Evermore” for album of the year at the Grammys. Not that she probably would have, but she could have, up until now. Swift was originally listed as a nominee for Rodrigo’s album due to an interpolation on the latter artist’s album, but the Recording Academy has now updated its list of nominees and excluded several names that previously were listed.

Also no longer nominated for being part of Rodrigo’s “Sour” songwriting team in the nominations list are St. Vincent, aka Annie Clark, and Jack Antonoff. Those two and Swift together wrote “Cruel Summer,” a song from the “Lover” album, which Rodrigo and her camp credited as an interpolation in the hit “Deja Vu,” even though it bore only the most modest similarity to the Swift album track.
