Bluebird Cafe employee misspeaks, launching spat between Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo fans
The fandoms of Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo are going head-to-head on social media after a video clip of a Bluebird Cafe employee misspeaking was posted to social media. "It's developed into this whole monster," Erika Nichols, the general manager of the cafe, tells The Tennessean. The drama stemmed from a video posted to X on June 17. In the video, an employee is talking with some influencers about the history of the iconic destination where Swift was discovered in 2004. A photo of the Eras Tour singer on the back stage was from a limited time exhibition of images by Deone Jahnke in 2008, according to Nichols. Swift also has a dedicated chair and headshot on another wall. In 2023, Rodrigo played a quick afternoon set with Sheryl Crow. The two did an acoustic performance of "If It Makes You Happy." Internet sleuths tracked down the performance and noticed the poster of Swift was gone. When an influencer asked a Bluebird employee about Swift's missing picture, the employee said, "We vowed to remove any visible signs of Taylor Swift" as the request of Rodrigo's team, adding, "We gotta respect the girlies." His inaccurate spitballing has been viewed more than 5.7 million times and taken on a life of its own. " The truth of it is Olivia's people did not ask for the Taylor Swift picture to be taken down," Nichols says. "We did not take her headshot off the wall. We did not remove the chair that has her name. You can see on the video of Olivia and Sheryl that we have our Bluebird posters in the background. This is something we do every time we have a professional filming in here. We're very careful not to use images that we don't have the rights to use. We remove them and put up our posters." Watch Olivia Rodrigo and Sheryl Crow sing together at Nashville's Bluebird Cafe Fans on X, crying foul, dug up performances with Swift's picture as a backdrop. Nichols responded by posting a two minute and 30 second explanation to social media. "That image was removed for legal reasons," she said. "Please understand this was not anything between two artists. We support all songwriters, all artists and give them equal share. Taylor is a super friend of the Bluebird, and we have her in the highest esteem. We were honored to have Olivia here, and please know they both live extremely high in our regard."

Taylor Swift's Photo Removal Not Ordered By Olivia Rodrigo's Team, Cafe Clarifies
Bluebird Cafe recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to clear the air about a potential feud between and Olivia Rodrigo. On Wednesday, the establishment's manager addressed some unfounded reports speculating that the latter's team had asked the restaurant to remove the former's photo. She clarified that the staff removed the image of their own volition. It was because the photo was in an unfavorable position as Rodrigo filmed something in their cafe. Bluebird Cafe's manager, Erika Wollam Nichols, recently clarified whether Olivia Rodrigo's team had asked the staff to remove Taylor Swift's photo from their establishment. She took to X (formerly Twitter) on June 18 to 'bring some truth to some questions in discussion that have been put out on the internet.' In the video, she denied fans' claims that Rodrigo's team asked them to remove Swift's photo while they were filming. Nichols noted that the cafe's staff put it away as it was in a spot that was in the frame while the 22-year-old was filming. She admitted that the Nashville eatery did indeed have Rodrigo visiting them for filming purposes. However, she and her team did not ask the establishment to remove the photo. The staff decided to put away the image as it was in the way of the former Disney star's filming. The general manager further explained how they are legally bound to remove any and every photo that is under copyright. Since the Nashville cafe doesn't 'own those images,' the establishment doesn't have the right to 'give permission for those images to be used in any kind of broadcast.' She further emphasized, 'That's the sole reason that the photograph was removed from the place it stood.' Nichols highlighted that the 'employee who spoke out of turn about this did not understand why that image was removed.' She admitted that the staff member 'spoke carelessly and haphazardly.' The COO reiterated, 'But irregardless, that image was removed for legal reasons.' She also assured fans that the other photos of Swift remained untouched during the time of filming. Nichols noted, 'Her headshot is there. Her chair still stands strong.' Moreover, she clarified that the pop sensation's photo wasn't the only one that had to be removed. There were other images that had to be put away as well. She asked for the internet's understanding, clarifying that there was no bad blood between the two singers.
