        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Taylor Swift is featured in the latest episode of &#8220;Killing Eve&#8221; — sort of.</p><p>The Queen of Pop took to social media Sunday night to express excitement over her song &#8220;Look What You Made Me Do&#8221; appearing in the psycho-thriller series, though not performed by Swift herself. Rather, an unknown group, Jack Leopards and the Dolphin Club, was credited with the soundtrack recording.</p><p>Swift, 30, <a href="https://twitter.com/taylorswift13/status/1264740730771300359" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeted</a> that she&#8217;s &#8220;VERY STOKED&#8221; that the band covered her song.</p><p>But the fact that there is no historical record of this musical group having ever existed outside of the BBC series, and that Nils Sjöberg — the <strong>songwriting pseudonym</strong> Swift used on <strong>Calvin Harris&#8217; &#8220;This Is What You Came For&#8221;</strong> — is credited on the soundtrack, has inspired the latest <a href="https://twitter.com/i/events/1264776663377735680?fbclid=IwAR0_n1oLOTjVlA3TG1J87WrqZVbk1MkGUzZ0SfNgeK-ydIGorFbaOCky0vE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">raging Twitter conspiracy theory</a> among Swifties.</p><p>Dozens of social-media watchdogs are suggesting that the featured track is an attempt to fly just <strong>under the legal radar</strong> of manager-to-the-stars Scooter Braun, 38, <strong>the media mogul who now controls the music</strong> she created at her former record label.</p><p>Swift&#8217;s team has not responded to The Post&#8217;s request for comment.</p><div class="embed-wrapper twitter"><div class="embed-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Nils Sjoberg (Taylor’s songwriting pseudonym) is listed on the LWYMMD cover’s credit. She’s using the pseudonym again to get around her music being hijacked from her.</p><p>Taylor Swift will not be silenced and I love it. <strong>pic.twitter.com/TV6J2x1ACD</strong></p><p>&mdash; Ryan Schocket (@RyanSchocket) <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanSchocket/status/1264761514860384256?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 25, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div></div><p>Still, not only are fans sure that Swift herself is behind the song&#8217;s inclusion in &#8220;Killing Eve,&#8221; but they also claim that her brother, Austin Swift, 28, is the vocal stand-in for the cover tune.</p><div class="embed-wrapper twitter"><div class="embed-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">austin swift singing lwymmd in a fake band played in the killing eve intro made so that taylor could bypass scooter&#8230; truly a fever dream <strong>pic.twitter.com/xvc2pu82uE</strong></p><p>&mdash; now all he thinks about es-mie (@yesesmie) <a href="https://twitter.com/yesesmie/status/1264757191766167562?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 25, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div></div><p>The star had reportedly begged the show&#8217;s creator <strong>Phoebe Waller-Bridge</strong> to have her brother be a part of the soundtrack earlier this year, according to the <strong>Daily Mail</strong>. There are other hints indicating Austin&#8217;s involvement, such as the fact that his Twitter handle was once &#8220;The Dolphin Club.&#8221; Then, last December, Austin, Taylor and producer Jack Antonoff (of the band Fun) were spotted together in the studio, leading fans to suggest the cover was recorded at that time.</p><p>BuzzFeed&#8217;s Ryan Schocket <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanSchocket/status/1264761514860384256" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">goes so far as to declare</a> Swift came up with the roundabout way of contributing to &#8220;Killing Eve&#8221; without contributing to Scooter Braun&#8217;s wallet. Last summer, the pair were tangled in a legal battle over the singer&#8217;s back-catalog after Braun acquired Big Machine Records, which had owned the rights to Swift&#8217;s first six studio albums — worth a reported $300 million.</p><p>&#8220;My musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it,&#8221; Swift <strong>said at the time</strong>. Braun, for his part, disputed Swift&#8217;s version of the story.</p>]]></content:encoded>
