No, Robbie Williams doesn’t think that Olivia Rodrigo is a traitor.
The “Angels” singer responded to accusations online that Rodrigo’s new holiday song “Take Me Home (4 Christmas)” ripped off his 2012 hit “Candy,” which he stressed he “couldn’t care less” about.
“I love Olivia Rodrigo,” Williams said in a statement posted to Instagram Nov. 9. “I’ve loved her since ‘Brutal.’ What a f–king record. I wish I’d made it. Also, I cannot believe how much she swears on stage. And that’s coming from me. I’m a Sweary Mary, but she’s making me look like a Victorian schoolmistress.”
“It sounds to me as though she may have accidentally stumbled across a musical echo of mine in one of her new songs,” he continued. “And do you know what? I couldn’t care less.”
The 52-year-old went on to say that he’s unsure if the similarities make this “technically a publishing issue, a copyright issue or no issue whatsoever.” Either way, he’s not interested in finding out.
“I don’t want to know,” he declared. “I’m not going after her. Because I think at some point, some f–king sanity has to prevail.”
