“Shrek” featured “All Star” on its 2001 release, although the song had already reached number one on the charts in 1999.
However, Smash Mouth found some online support from Swift’s outraged followers.
“Apparently, is this about Taylor quickly from what I see in the responses? His songs suck, they stop attacking a talented group just because one of his songs became a meme and that somehow invalidates his opinions,” he wrote. the brave soul.
In 2016, Smash Mouth responded to critics who said they were only famous for the song “Shrek” by Pedestrian.

“It’s funny because after our first follow-up # 1 and Top10, Shrek wasn’t even created yet,” they responded to one detractor.
And did the trolls calling them a one-hit wonder really got under the gang’s skin when they applauded, “One Of They One Hit Wonders”? ha ….. Two # 1 and 4 Top20. They are 6 successful songs. I guess we are a 6hit wonder. “
Meanwhile, Taylor’s “Folklore” is receiving rave reviews, with some calling it one of her best albums.
“A project created in isolation, Folklore finds Swift pouring every inch of her current psyche, amidst an imperfect reality, into her composition. We are fortunate that she decided to share it with us,” wrote Billboard.
