Both anthemic, self-empowering 1st singles released on August of a pop girl just after her most succesful eras, both got eclipsed by a growing single from a new artist, and therefore just managed to get a couple of weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

Besides, both artists are friends. =)

Shake It Off now "ripping off" of Hey Ya?

They are also superior to the songs they are compared to.

SIO is good tho

Literally nobody has compared Shake It Off and Hey Ya!. You've just made that up.

shake it off rips off hey ya?

I hear it

Roar is superior in every aspects tho..

There are similarities in SIO and HY!, but the media never accused her of "ripping Outkast off," unlike Katy.

SIO is actually good, though.

You had something going with this thread until you said SIO ripped off Hey Ya

Lmao that's quite funny. Also only getting #1 for two weeks because of a huge hit that had been growing eclipsing it.

No, Roar was pretty popular ww.

.

Roar slays tho

OMG

SIO is not even close to Roar succes!
