Oh no! Taylor Swift has come under fire for allegedly stealing a Matt Nathanson lyric from 2003 and using it in her song ‘All Too Well,’ a track on her new album ‘Red.’ Do YOU think Taylor would do that?
Taylor Swift, 22, is known for her amazing song lyrics, but now, singer Matt Nathanson, 39, is accusing Taylor of stealing a line he wrote back in 2003 in his song called “I Saw.”
He tweeted, and later deleted, on Oct. 24, “she’s definitely a fan… and now she’s a thief.”
The blog Oh No They Didn’t! pointed out the similar lyrics on Oct. 31, adding, “I wouldn’t think much about it normally except for the fact that she is a fan of his…she has written HIS lyrics on her arm at her concerts before [during her Speak Now tour].”
Matt went back to his Twitter on Nov. 2, saying, “so far, my favorite thing about today is the wave of @taylorswift13 fans calling me a prick on twitter for writing “i saw” in 2003.”
Matt sings in 2003′s “I Saw’ — “and I’ll forget about you long enough to forget why I need to.”
Taylor’s 2012 song “All Too Well” goes like this: “and I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to.”
HollywoodLife.com has reached out to their reps and is awaiting comment.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Is it a coincidence or did Taylor steal Matt’s lyrics?
