Pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo has found herself in the middle of a TikTok tempest after allegedly dropping a spicy comment on none other than Donald Trump’s team’s video. In the most 2024 twist imaginable, Rodrigo’s smash hit “deja vu” popped up on a Team Trump TikTok post celebrating a supposed election victory. And that’s where things got… well, weird.
Enter: The Comment. A screenshot shared on Twitter/X allegedly shows Olivia herself dropping a salty remark on the TikTok post, saying, and I quote, “ew don’t use my sound ever again ty.” Short, sweet, and dripping with enough sass to fill a Taylor Swift breakup album.
Now, before we all start handing her a golden trophy for “Best Celebrity Clapback,” fans quickly pointed out that the screenshot might be a big, fat fake. BUT! It seems the universe, or maybe the TikTok gods, were on her side. “deja vu” mysteriously vanished from the Trump team video shortly after, like a ghost at a Halloween party when the lights come on. Cue the applause! The song is still available for everyone else to vibe to on the app, which of course begs the question—did Olivia really say it, or is this a case of next-level internet wizardry?
In the meantime, fans are singing Olivia’s praises, hailing her as an “icon” and a “queen,” and one Twitter user even called her the “Patron Saint of Politely Snarky Pop Stars.”
And let’s not forget, Olivia’s been loudly supporting Vice President Kamala Harris this election season, joining the literal celebrity army backing her up. So, whether or not she actually wrote the comment, Olivia seems to be officially the new queen of subtle social media shade, and we’re all here for it.
