The likeness is fully documented by the associated artists; Right Said Fred members Richard Fairbrass, Fred Fairbrass and Rob Manzoli are listed as co-writers alongside Swift and frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff.
As the song launched, the group formally praised Swift’s single.

Badge Of Friendship, which handles PR for the group, also shared excitement “So proud of our roster client pals @TheFreds! “I’m too Sexy” got reinvented by @taylorswift13.”
“Look What You Made Me Do,” which launched late Thursday night, reached #1 on the US iTunes sales chart within an hour.
