In September 2023, we found ourselves wondering, “Is there really bad blood between Grammy winners Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift after the “Vampire Taylor Swift” theory?”
However, it was the Filipino-American singer who dismissed the issue, saying, “It’s better not to pigeonhole a song into being about just one thing.”
And this was further clarified during the recent 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
Nominated for six awards at this year’s show and clad in a red dress, the “Drivers License” hitmaker delivered a riveting and dramatic performance of “Vampire.” Against a red flowered backdrop, she bled fake blood, solidifying the notion she once shared that she has a penchant for singing about rage.
In a video shared by The Hollywood Reporter on X, Swift was seen singing and dancing along to the pop-rock ballad, seemingly revealing the shared appreciation for each other’s music and the kind of friendship they have.

And at the end, the “Cruel Summer” singer even gave Rodrigo a standing ovation, effectively laying to rest the soured relationship rumor, which once fueled speculation and gossip, on that Grammy stage.
During that night, the “Afterglow” artist once again smashed records by securing the most “Album of the Year” Grammy wins, marking her fourth victory with “Midnights.” Additionally, she dropped an announcement about her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”
Meanwhile, Rodrigo is gearing up for her Guts World Tour, set to kick off on Feb. 23 in Palm Springs, and extending through August with additional stops in the US, Canada, Europe and more.
