Rania Aniftos
The show opened with legend Weezy followed up by Olivia Rodrigo and they were just the first of many epic performances.

Like Doja Cat, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, and of course, the host of the night Nicki Minaj, who performed a new song off ‘Pink Friday 2.’ Shakira gave a career spanning performance in honor of her video Vanguard Award, complete with an on-stage shower and crowd surfing.

Rania Aniftos

Doja Hits No. 1, Is Olivia’s Song About Taylor?, What to Expect From VMAs & More | Billboard News

Olivia Rodrigo hides four new tracks in Guts vinyl records and fans are convinced her new track “The Grudge” is about Taylor Swift. The 2023 MTV VMAs are almost here and it is looking to be a memorable one. Nicki Minaj is back to host the show, Shakira is being honored with the Video Vanguard Award, TXT and Anitta are debuting a new track, and more! After spending four weeks climbing the charts, Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” hits No. 1 on the Hot 100 and becomes the first rap Hot 100 topper in over a year. And more!

Tetris Kelly
Olivia Rodrigo’s new album is killing it, but she is she singing about Taylor Swift? The VMAs are gearing up to be a show for the books. Doja Cat ends the country streak atop the Hot 100. Ed Sheeran cancels his Vegas tour stop. Welcome to another week of Billboard News. I’m Tetris Kelly, it’s Monday, September 11th, and we start the show off with a little drama. Well, maybe. Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts has been trending since Friday and fans are picking apart her lyrics, but could some of them be about Taylor Swift?

Tetris Kelly
Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘The Grudge’ has a lot of fans thinking that she could be singing about Taylor. There’s been a long-standing rumor that Olivia and Taylor have a feud due to copyright issues on Olivia’s song “Deja Vu.”

Tetris Kelly
Olivia says she was inspired by Taylor’s “Cruel Summer” and retroactively added Swift as a co-writer to the song, so you can see why some fans would think the lyrics — “You have everything and you still want more” — could be about Taylor, but this isn’t the first time fans speculated Olivia was talking about Ms. Swift.

Tetris Kelly
When her Hot 100 No. 1 “Vampire” came out, some fans were sure the song was about Taylor, but Olivia said she was surprised to hear the fan theories. As for her writing style, she said to SiriusXM, “Lots of the time I write something that’s kind of like an amalgamation of lots of different people or write a lot of songs out of fantasy sometimes, too.” We’ll probably never really know what “The Grudge” is about. But at least we have a great album to listen to. Speaking of Olivia Rodrigo, you’ll get to see her perform her new music on MTV tomorrow night.
