You hear about lawsuits involving bands all the time. It seems Taylor Swift has the right idea.

Taylor has a whole new sound with her savage new single, "Look What You Made Me Do." But if the baseline on the track’s chorus sounds familiar, that’s probably because it’s been sampled from Right Said Fred’s 1991 hit "I'm Too Sexy."

Right Said Fred — made up of brothers Fred and Richards Fairbrass and guitarist Rob Manzoli — lent their biggest hit to Swift and her Jack Antanoff who co-wrote the new track with her.

They couldn’t be more thrilled either, expressing their gratitude on Twitter towards Swift as the song debuted late Thursday night. “Thank you @taylorswift13,” The band — who also have writing credits on the song — wrote. “What a marvelous reinvention! #imtoosexy #lookwhatyoumademedo.”
