Rising pop star Eli (\u201cGlitter\u201d and, more recently, featured on Zara Larsson\u2019s Girls Trip <\/i>deluxe remix of \u201cCrush\u201d) penned an open letter to Taylor Swift on social media, accusing the singer of failing to properly credit her as a songwriter on a recent collaboration. <\/b>In a previous series of Instagram Stories \u2014 which have since been archived across various subreddits<\/a> and forums \u2014 Eli referred to Taylor as a \u201cfame-fucking billionaire\u201d and \u201cthe Jeff Bezos of the music industry,\u201d while also declaring that \u201cSwifties are so similar to MAGA\u201d and writing: \u201cGive Olivia Rodrigo her publishing back and then we\u2019ll talk!\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
According to Eli, she contributed lyrics and melody ideas to a Taylor song that were ultimately used in the final version without proper acknowledgment or compensation.<\/p>\n
Taylor\u2019s team has yet to respond. While some Swifties have attacked Eli with predictable transphobic rhetoric, many others have come to her defense, praising her as one of the first artists willing to publicly criticize Taylor Swift so directly. Others still have accused Eli of trying to gain traction and go viral.<\/p>\n
ONTD, have you streamed “Glitter” by Eli for clear skin yet today?<\/i><\/p>\n
