Taylor Swift faces copyright allegations in lawsuit by Florida artist

Taylor Swift
  • A Florida artist filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Taylor Swift.
  • She alleges that “creative elements” in Swift’s songs were copied.
  • The allegations against Taylor Swift Productions remain active.

Florida artist Kimberly Marasco has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Taylor Swift and her production company, Taylor Swift Productions, seeking over $7 million in damages. Marasco alleges that “creative elements” in Swift’s songs and music videos were copied from her original work without authorization or credit.

Judge Aileen Cannon recently dismissed Swift from the lawsuit without prejudice, citing Marasco’s failure to serve the suit in a timely manner. However, the allegations against Taylor Swift Productions remain active, leaving the door open for Marasco to refile the case in the future.

In response, attorneys representing Swift’s company, Aaron S. Blynn and Katherine Wright Morrone, filed a motion to dismiss the case on January 21. They argued that more than 50% of Marasco’s claims are “time-barred,” as copyright law requires claims to be filed within three years of discovering alleged infringement. Swift’s albums, including Lover, Folklore, and Evermore, were released before April 2021, the cutoff for legal pursuit of the claims.

Marasco contended she was unaware of the alleged similarities until attending Swift’s 2024 Eras Tour. Her attorneys countered that Swift’s music has been widely covered and accessible, disputing Marasco’s claim of ignorance. The legal battle continues to unfold.

The only exceptions were reportedly for military assistance to Israel and Egypt and emergency food aid.

“The Secretary-General notes with concern the announcement of a pause in US foreign assistance,” said the statement issued on behalf of Guterres by his Spokesperson Stephan Dujarric.

“The Secretary-General calls for additional exemptions to be considered to ensure the continued delivery of critical development and humanitarian activities for the most vulnerable communities around the world, whose lives and livelihoods depend on this support.”

The statement added the Guterres was looking forward to engaging with the Trump administration on how “much needed development support” can be provided to citizens in the developing world who face the severest challenges.

“The United States is one of the largest aid providers and it is vital that we work constructively to jointly shape a strategic path forward,” the statement continued.

Singer-actor Selena Gomez recently broke down in tears after US President Donald Trump announced a major deportation plan targeting illegal immigrants.

Selena shared a now-deleted video on her Instagram Stories, expressing her sorrow and frustration. Wearing a black outfit, she said, “I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry. All my people are getting attacked. The children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.” She also added the text “I’m sorry” alongside a Mexican flag.

The emotional video, later shared by fans on social media, drew mixed reactions. While some criticized her, one user tweeted, “There is a legal way to come into the United States. Why don’t they try that?” Others defended her, with a fan saying, “People laughing at her are so disgusting… She has the right to cry. She comes from Mexican immigrant parents. She was given an opportunity. We love you, Selena.” Another commented, “This is heartbreaking. Can you let the woman express her emotions?”

Selena later shared another note, saying, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people,” which she also deleted.

TJ Miller recalls co-star Ryan Reynolds’ alleged mean behavior on ‘Deadpool’ set

Deadpool
  • TJ Miller revealed Ryan Reynolds’ mean behavior on the Deadpool set.
  • He described the interaction as “weird.”
  • He admitted he wouldn’t work with Reynolds again.

Comments made by actor TJ Miller about Ryan Reynolds during the production of “Deadpool” have resurfaced amidst legal accusations involving Reynolds’ wife, Blake Lively, and “It Ends With Us” director Justin Baldoni. Miller’s claims were first shared in a 2022 episode of “The Adam Carolla Show,” where he alleged Reynolds was “horrifically mean” to him on set.

“As the character, he was, like, horrifically mean to me. But to me. As if I’m Weasel,” Miller said, recalling an incident where Reynolds reportedly told him, “You know what’s great about you, Weasel? You’re not the star, but you do just enough exposition that it’s funny and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.”

While describing the interaction as “weird,” Miller insisted he bore no grudge but admitted he wouldn’t work with Reynolds again. “I sorta wish him well because he’s so good at Deadpool… but I think it’s weird that he hates me.” Miller later revealed that Reynolds reached out via email to clear up the misunderstanding, and their relationship was now “fine.”

Meanwhile, Lively’s legal battle with Baldoni has brought further scrutiny. Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and fostering a “hostile work environment.” Baldoni denied the allegations and filed a $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds, and her publicist, Leslie Soane. Baldoni claimed Lively “hijacked the creative process” and forced him and his family to remain in a basement holding area at the film’s premiere.

Lively’s attorneys called the lawsuit a “classic example of DARVO,” stating, “The evidence will show that Sony asked Ms. Lively to oversee Sony’s cut of the film, which they then selected for distribution and was a resounding success.”
