- Taylor Swift is being sued for trademark infringement, false designation, and unfair competition over the title of her 2025 album, The Life of a Showgirl.
- The lawsuit was filed in California federal court by Maren Wade, a former Las Vegas showgirl who owns the trademark to “Confessions of a Showgirl”, a brand she has built since 2014.
- Wade is seeking unspecified damages from Swift and UMG Recordings, along with a court order to prevent the pop star from continuing to use the album title.
- The US Patent and Trademark Office previously declined Swift's application to register The Life of a Showgirl as a trademark, citing its confusing similarity to Wade's existing mark.
- Wade claims her brand has been undermined, with many now believing she copied Swift, and the lawsuit suggests Swift must either buy out Wade's claim or fight the case in court.
