Bluebird Cafe denied rumors that Olivia Rodrigo's team requested the venue to remove Taylor Swift images before Rodrigo's 2023 performance. General manager and COO Erica Nichols clarified that the photos were removed due to copyright issues during filming, and she stated that the venue is legally required to remove copyrighted images for broadcast.
Nichols stated that the photo was removed solely for legal reasons and that the venue continues to support both artists equally. The rumor fueled fan theories of a feud between Rodrigo and Swift, stemming from songwriting credit disputes on Rodrigo's tracks "Deja Vu" and "1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back," which featured Swift's music. Rodrigo has repeatedly denied any feud and the manager urged fans not to believe the false narrative, stating that the venue removed multiple images as standard filming procedure.
