Default Taylor Swift Evermore lawsuit by Utah theme park story

https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/04/us/ta...rnd/index.html

https://www.theguardian.com/music/20...-park-evermore

Quote:
Taylor Swift has been sued for copyright infringement by a theme park in Utah that shares the name of her hit album Evermore.

The theme park owners allege that Swift’s album, released in December 2020, has confused visitors and negatively affected the park’s prominence on search engines, and that their merchandise designs have also been infringed upon. They are seeking to claim damages as well as their legal costs.

Visitors reportedly asked “whether the Evermore album was the result of a collaboration between Evermore and Taylor Swift or some other type of relationship” with the park, according to their human resources director.

Representatives for Swift have called the lawsuit “baseless … frivolous and irresponsible”, adding: “It is inconceivable that there is any likelihood of confusion between your client’s theme park and related products and Ms Swift’s music and related products.”

Evermore, released less than five months after her previous album Folklore, reached No 1 in the US and UK, her sixth consecutive album to do so.

Another lawsuit brought against Swift is slowly making its way through the US court system. In 2017, songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler alleged that Swift’s song Shake It Off had plagiarised lyrics from their song Players Gon’ Play by US girl group 3LW – both songs feature the lyrics “the players gonna play” and “the haters gonna hate”.

In 2018, a judge ruled that the lyrical conceit was not sufficiently creative to be deemed an infringement, but the decision was overturned on appeal, and in September 2020 the court case was confirmed to go ahead once more.

Swift’s team maintain that Hall and Butler “did not invent these common phrases nor are they the first to use them in a song. We are confident the true writers of Shake It Off will prevail again.”

The Red Hot Chili Peppers Sued the TV Show Californication because they had an album of the same name and they lost, so I doubt this Theme Park will win either. I'm not a fan of people trying to stop people using words tbh

Having said that didn't Taylor Swift try to trade mark some phrases as well herself?

no but this does give them some extra media attention, publicity

but Taylor isn't the first to use Evermore, since there also is a new zealand band out there called exactly that
