Opinion on Olivia and Taylor feud rumors?

i think the likeliest explanation for the rumors is the simplest one, and that’s that olivia is just busy with her own career and trying to separate from the baby-taylor-swift/taylor swift stan image that began to surround her during the promo for sour. she was trying to create her own career, and a lot of people were so invested in meticulously combing through her interviews to see if she did or didn’t mention taylor rather than watching/reading them out of interest in her, and then her debut album came out and all that a lot of people could talk about was how some songs were soooo taylor coded and you could tell that she was “raised by taylor” and i think olivia may have felt edged out of her own career by taylor’s fans who have a tendency to put her at the center of everything. i dont think olivia hates taylor, i think she’s just uncomfortable with swifties and doesn’t want their attention but unfortunately now they’re keeping score of how much she doesn’t mention her. and on taylor’s end, i don’t think she would engage in a feud with a young woman who’s like ten years younger than her. she’s just not that mean spirited, and she knows that would be horrendous for her image
