Taylor Swift gets a public thank-you note from George Michael's estate after using his 'Father Figure' hook in her 'Life of a Showgirl' song of the same name.

George Michael ’s ‘Father Figure’ has been reimagined by one of the world’s biggest artists. On her latest album The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor Swift takes the much-loved 1987 hit and flips it on its head, turning the once romantic song into a cynical look at power within the music industry.

George Michael's estate released a statement about one of the most anticipated track's on Taylor Swift's soon-to-be-released album: “Father Figure."

"We had no hesitation in agreeing to this association between two great artists," the late singer's estate notes ahead of Swift's new album.
