Taylor Swift sued for trademark infringement over 'Life of a Showgirl'

[TaylorSwift 162,471]

Tylor Swift was sued by a Las Vegas performer on Monday who said Swift's latest hit album "The Life of a Showgirl" violates her trademark rights.

Maren Wade said in ‌the complaint, opens new tab that marketing for Swift's album threatened to "drown out" her long-running "Confessions of a Showgirl" stage show and asked the court to block Swift from creating confusion with her album title.

In 2014, Wade, who appeared on America’s Got Talent, began writing a column in the Las Vegas Weekly called “Confessions of a Showgirl” about her experiences as a performer in the entertainment industry. Since then, it’s also become a podcast and live show featuring pop and jazz music. Her trademark covers live stage performances, theatrical productions and TV, among other things.

According to the filing, Wade is seeking a court order blocking Swift’s use of the branding, along with disgorgement of profits, treble damages, and attorneys’ fees. x x

Prepare to pay a lot of money to lose this case and your career, miss Wade. This is just silly. And Taylor is ruthless when it comes to things like these.

As much as I’d love to watch Mrs jet fuel taste some of her own medicine this holds about as much water as a sieve

Neither "confessions" nor anything with "Showgirl" in a title is very unique or specific... The only thing similar is the "...of a Showgirl" part and the all-caps-writing, but is this really hurting a trademark? That's a lotta reach out there...

Though her voice, songwriting, and stage presence are lackluster, TS is at her most powerful when her lawyers are involved. It’ was over before it ever even started for Miss Wade i fear 😔

Wouldn't Sophie Ellis-Bextor come first with "Murder on the dancefloor"? Also very, very similar... and years later Madonna confesses she is the murderer on the dancefloor? Interesting...
