Taylor Swift’s lawyers want copyright case tossed

Taylor’s lawyers work harder than Kris Jenner

This is ridiculous. There are literally hundreds of thousands of books out there that combine pictures and texts. There are whole genres of books that use this format (coffee table books, memoirs, retrospectives, etc). This lady is literally reacting to the fact that they both have the title “Lover” and then looking for proof.  I’m sure there are many examples of books with that title. And the picture of the her looking to the side… it’s the most basic composition of a picture ever. If it was a stylized or unique image it would be different but just a basic portrait, theres millions of pics like that. And there’s zero incentive… why on earth would a superstar like Taylor Swift need to copy a self-published book by a nobody that no one has ever heard of, with a standard portrait pose. It’s so ludicrous.

They don’t even look similar? The style is especially different between the covers save for a color scheme (which is in and of itself not an uncommonly used one). And what they’re saying is a rip off—photos intermixed with text—is literally just the format of a magazine? 

This is incredibly stupid.

There's absolutely no similarities for the first set of pictures. But the second set? They look pretty similar. I feel like if a big artist were intentionally ripping someone's work they wouldn't name it the same unless they're brainless. And Taylor has proven time and time again she's far from that. Lover has been a term used for centuries and pastels have been pretty mainstream for the past couple of years. Photo and written work interspersed?  that's a reach. And I'm hoping she's not suing me/GGD for interspersing the emote with text.
