Singer Taylor Swift collides with $1 million copyright lawsuit for her album ‘Lover’

KATHMANDU,

Singer and songwriter Taylor Swift has collided with a copyright lawsuit for her album ‘Lover’. On August 23, La Dart filed a complaint at a federal court in Tennessee accusing Taylor of plagiarizing her book of poems, tales, anecdotes and images.  

According to reports, Teresa La Dart has sued Swift for $ 1 million with the allegation that the singer copied author La Dart’s 2010 self-published book of poetry of the same name for the companion booklet for the 2019 ‘Lover’ album.

According to a report of Billboard, the alleged similarities between La Dart’s book and Swift’s book include covers that both feature ‘pastel pinks and blues,’ as well as an image of the author ‘photographed in a downward pose.’ La Dart also claims Swift copied the book’s format, namely ‘a recollection of past years memorialized in a combination of written and pictorial components.’ La Dart says that the inner book design specifically that it’s composed of ‘interspersed photographs and writings’ also infringed her copyrights.

Meanwhile, Swift is also entangled with another copyright lawsuit over her song ‘Shake It Off’.
