Taylor Swift sued in shocking copyright case over The Life of a Showgirl
Superstar Taylor Swift is in legal trouble: an entertainer is suing the singer over the title of her album The Life of a Showgirl.
Las Vegas, Nevada – Superstar Taylor Swift is in legal trouble: an entertainer is suing the singer over the title of her album The Life of a Showgirl.
Las Vegas showgirl Maren Wade believes her own trademark rights have been infringed by Swift’s successful album and is demanding damages of an undisclosed amount from the 36-year-old pop icon.
In a statement to TMZ, the performer argues that the extensive marketing for Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl has threatened to “drown out” her own trademarked brand, Confessions of a Showgirl.
Wade claims that the album has caused lasting damage to Confessions of a Showgirl, which was trademarked in 2015 and encompasses stage productions, a weekly column, and more.

Wade sees too many similarities between Confessions of a Showgirl and The Life of a Showgirl – also because of overlaps in the market and target demographics.
The singer fears that she will be perceived as a copycat of Swift and suffer business losses as a result.
The Grammy winner’s management has not yet responded to the allegations.
