Praise the lord! T-Swift is back, and with a new sound too, her brand new single 'Look what you made me do' is set to make a serious assault on the charts.

As much as we love her latest work, and we do, we did notice something a little strange about it...and it turns out we aren't alone! Here are some of the reactions to Swifty's latest track so far:

 

That's right! People are saying the chorus to her latest single sounds like the iconic 90's anthem 'I'm too sexy' by Right said Fred! So it's not just us!

Even The Fred's themselves have weighed in:

What do you think? Have a listen to the two tunes below (Especially the choruses')

 

As it turns out, Taylor is in fact paying homage to the wedding dance floor anthem,with Right said Fred getting a writing credit for the song.

But it still got us thinking ...what are some other songs that've sounded similar to each other over the years?

 Here's a few we could think of:

Coldplay's classic 'Clocks' and David Guetta's 'When love takes over,' have a listen to the mashup below:

 

Let's jump back to 2009/10 and have a listen to the similarities between Ke$ha's 'Tik Tok and Katy Perry's 'California Gurls':

Ed Sheeran knows all too well about this subject, he was on the wrong end of a $20 Million (US) settlement after people picked up on the closeness of his 2015-hit 'Photograph' and U.K. X-Factor winner Matt Cardle's song 'Amazing' from 2012:

And who could forget this one? It caused quite the storm when Madonna claimed Lady Gaga 'Blatantly' ripped off her 1988 song 'Express yourself' with her 2011 hit 'Born this way,' take a listen:

Some funny coincidences there!

Anyway we're loving having Taylor back!
