There’s some bad blood between Taylor Swift and a fellow artist amid allegations the Grammy-award winner and outspoken fair-pay advocate stole artwork to promote her hit album, “1989.”

New Orleans artist Ally Burguieres posted an open letter to the “Shake It Off” singer on Friday following what she says is a yearlong battle for any kind of recognition for Swift’s use of her fox.

The red and white sketch was allegedly tweeted out to Swift’s millions of followers back in October of last year, but not before another person’s signature was slapped on it along with Swift’s lyrics to “I Know Places.”

Burguieres, who runs a vegan artisan boutique and clothing line called Cocoally, said she was immediately flattered by her artwork’s use, but when she reached out for recognition, to her surprise, she found her efforts rebuffed.

“I don’t have anything artistically against her, or anything personally against her, but I guess from a professional standpoint, I naively thought there would be more respect there,” she told The Huffington Post on Monday.

Burguieres’ claim is particularly ironic, considering Swift’s famously public battle against low-royalty streaming services while demanding fair pay for her own work, as well as others.

Swift caused a scene in 2014 when she pulled her music from Spotify and similar streaming services. That same summer she published a Wall Street Journal op-ed that described art as “important and rare,” and being of such, is of value and “should be paid for.”

“It’s my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album’s price point is. I hope they don’t underestimate themselves or undervalue their art,” she stated in part.

How Burguieres’ case could somehow be different from Swift’s preaching has left her mystified and increasingly upset.

“This is difficult because of everything that she’s said, this is the last thing I’d imagine,” Burguieres told HuffPost. “Her team has had no desire to accept any sort of responsibility or take any action to make things right.”

Immediately after Swift shared the fox image, it began circulating online with Swifties — as her devout fans are lovingly called — rapidly copying the image for their own creative use and association to the singer.

Then suddenly on Nov. 4, four days after its Oct. 31 posting, Burguieres says it was deleted from Swift’s page. That leaves her convinced that Swift’s team knew they made a mistake. Problem is, she said, they have yet to fess up.

“You can handle it in a decent way and that’s not just pretending it didn’t happen,” she said.

Burguieres said she eventually contacted an attorney who was able to get in touch with Swift’s lawyers. In a conversation between them last month, Burguieres was offered an undisclosed “four-digit” sum but with that payment stipulated as going to a charity.

Burguieres, who makes a living off her artwork, compared that response to pouring “salt on a wound.”

“This isn’t just up to what she thinks I may deserve or what I don’t deserve. This is basically artists’ rights. I shouldn’t have to fight so hard just to be credited,” she said.

“I’ve started to feel intimidated and steamrolled and I’m not even a threat. I’ll I’m asking for is credit,” she said.

Attempts to reach Swift’s team for comment were not immediately successful.
