CATaylor Swift successfully dismissed a copyright lawsuit brought by poet Kimberly Marasco, who claimed that lyrics from several of Swift's songs infringed upon her poems. According to a court order obtained by Global News, Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that Marasco's poems and Swift's songs shared 'basic ideas and themes' such as corporate work environments, gaslighting, and confrontation of adversity, which are not protected under copyright law. The judge emphasized that elements like common metaphors and isolated words are not eligible for copyright protection. Marasco had previously sued Swift, and the court stated that she had been given multiple opportunities to amend her claims without success. Swift's legal team argued that the allegations were frivolous and part of a pattern of harassment.
