Taylor Swift Seeks to Dismiss “Absurd” Lyrics Lawsuit

Taylor Swift is back in the headlines, but this time it is over a legal battle.

Poet Kimberly Marasco filed a lawsuit in Florida, claiming that several of Swift’s songs copied lines from her poems published in 2017 and 2019.

The lawsuit points to tracks from albums including Lover, Folklore, Midnights, and The Tortured Poets Department.

Swift’s lawyers have asked a judge to dismiss the case, calling it “frivolous and absurd.”

They say the lawsuit is baseless and amounts to legal harassment.

Many of Marasco’s claims rely on common words and phrases like love, fire, and time, which cannot be copyrighted.

The motion argues that the case has no merit and appears designed more to attract attention than resolve a real legal issue.

Swift has successfully defended her lyrics in previous lawsuits, reinforcing her record of standing firm against claims she considers unfounded.

Fans and industry watchers are closely watching the case.

The outcome could shape how courts handle creative expression and alleged lyrical copying in the future.
