Everleigh LaBrant, popular child influencer of Cole and Savannah LaBrant, debuted her first song “Like Taylor Swift” and an accompanying music video. However, the song has sparked some debate, so much that none other than Jojo Siwa is stepping in to defend Everleigh.
Fans are praising the young girl’s creativity calling her single “so catchy” for such a 10-year-old. But not everyone has fallen in love with the song.
Some only are calling this the “Friday” of the generation, calling comparisons to the 2011 Rebecca Back debuted that was mocked back in its time. Rebecca Black has spoken out about the comments made on her song at such a young age claiming that it made her feel depressed and ashamed for years.
@thesupercole my 10 year old daughter wrote this song and now we cant stop singing it. ❤️ you Taylor Swift
Some on social media have mocked Everleigh’s lyrics with some stating the lyrics were too mature for a young girl to be referencing.
Users online began questioning who wrote the track, with some accusing the parents being the masterminds behind the single. 27-year-old Cole stated in a TikTok video that Everleigh wrote the lyrics, but the music video with over 1.1 million views on YouTube says it was written by the “LaBrant Fam.”

Popular child star and ‘Dance Moms’ album Jojo Siwa entered the conversation telling haters that they needed to back off on giving such criticism to someone so young.
@itsjojosiwa Saying all of this with love… As the now 20 year old who once was the 10 year old growing up infront of the internet, I wanna say to anyone thats been saying negative things about this song or everleigh herself, lose your ego and grow up… First, this song is adorable (and insanely catchy). And second… Bullying isnt cool, it’s not funny, and it’s not trendy, ever… especially when it’s directed at a 10 year old and her first song by people much older than her. Some even adults. If you’ve posted something knocking this, you should be embarrassed. I also without a doubt can say that Everleigh is one of the kindest and hardest working kids i’ve ever had to joy of getting to be around and she absolutely deserves all the love an success she has.????????
The dancer and known online celebrity posted a caption to this TikTok video stating, “First, this song is adorable (and insanely catchy).

Fans in the comments agreed with the stance Jojo took on the matter. Jojo claimed that “she absolutely deserved all of the love and success she has.”
