I can’t take credit for this.
Sean McNulty, who writes the excellent The Wake Up newsletter at The Ankler — I guess he’s a Jonas Brothers fan — noticed the similarity right away.
The title track of Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” and the Jonas Brothers’ 2019 “Cool,” sound very similar.
Last night I praised Swift’s track, from her new album, because it sounded so different from the rest of the record.
I am not much of a Jonas expert, but when I heard “Cool” I really liked it — as if I’d heard it before.
The Swift song is written with Max Martin and Shellback. The Jonas Brothers song comes from the Ryan Tedder house of songs.
