Taylor Swift wins a copyright lawsuit in which a writer claimed the singer borrowed lyrics from her poems. The case is filed by Kimberly Marasco, a self-published author, who alleged that Swift used lines and themes from her poetry to create more than a dozen songs. The complaint targets tracks released across multiple albums, including Evermore, Folklore, Midnights, Lover and The Tortured Poets Department.
According to reporting from both outlets, the judge dismisses the lawsuit. The court rejects the claims, describing them as “absurd” in its ruling. The dispute began in 2024, and centered on similarities the plaintiff alleged between her written work and Swift’s lyrics.
With the dismissal, Swift avoids liability in this case and the litigation does not proceed further under the asserted claims. The available reports focus on the judge’s rejection of the allegations and do not indicate the case results in damages or a separate remedy beyond the dismissal.
