‘Even if Olivia is a Swiftie she doesn’t need your approval’

Looking at Swifties going mad on the Internet for Olivia’s sweet gesture toward Kim, a lot of social media users extended their support to the young crooner. One user said, “Olivia Rodrigo can act and promote her work and her art however she wants. That 18 yo girl is charting higher than all of your faves with her talent and hard work. Yes we swifties r a big support but NO we r not the REASON of her success. WE LOVE YOU OLIVIA."

One user asked, “Why are ppl mad olivia sent something to kim? Girly is just trying to promote her album leave her alone.” Another one tweeted, “I get that Olivia is a swiftie and that Taylor has publicly supported her but it’s annoying to see that swifties are claiming Olivia got famous because of Taylor. Like? Taylor hates when other people try to take credit for her career, right? What do you think she’d think of this?”
 
The next one posted, “Do u guys know that even if olivia is a swiftie she doesn’t need your approval right??? she’s trying to form her OWN fandom. the kim k thing was most definitely pr and it has nothing to do with taylor, not everything does,”  whereas, another pointed out, “Some swifties really think putting olivia through kinda similar stuff that taylor went through 5 years ago is a good idea.”  On the same lines, one said, “This is disgusting. Just because Olivia sent a pr package to Kim Kardashian people go and hate on Olivia. If you’re doing this, we don’t claim you in the swiftie or Liv fandom.” Echoing similar sentiments, one user concluded, “Swifties obviously did not make Olivia famous nor Kanye did Taylor. Its their music who made them famous. Taylor had to fight this kind of situation back then. So don't repeat it with a new generation artist who is clearly a talented person.”

Another explained: "Olivia Rodrigo is literally 17 and her team probably sent PR packages to many celebs with big platforms and grown ass people are flooding her comments with snake emojis trying to create random beef because Kim Kardashian got a package....please grow up and touch grass."
