After the release of her new single 'So Sick of Dreaming' from the upcoming album 'Don’t Forget Me', Maggie Rogers shared insights into the inspiration behind the song. Rogers, 28, revealed that the 'sassy' voice note featured in the bridge was inspired by a 'Clueless and Shania Twain' vibe that she couldn't resist.
The voicemail in the song, originally intended as a placeholder, describes a date gone wrong where the protagonist ends up ditching the reservation for Knicks tickets. Some listeners drew parallels between this voicemail and a similar conversation snippet in Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' from the 'Red' era.
Rogers, a known fan of Swift, covered Swift's 'Tim McGraw' in 2018 for a Spotify Singles session. Despite the similarities in the voicemail snippets, Rogers' new single was not directly inspired by Swift. However, fans appreciated the nod to Swift's iconic song in Rogers' track.
Both Rogers and Swift are set to release new albums this spring. Rogers' third studio album is scheduled for April 12, just a week before Swift's 11th album, 'The Tortured Poets Department', hits the shelves.
It's clear that both artists are drawing inspiration from each other and the music industry as a whole, creating a buzz among fans eagerly awaiting their new releases.
