Taylor Swift sued for copyright infringement on ‘Evermore’

By Arunika Swaroop

Taylor Swift has been sued for copyright infringement by a theme park in Utah. The park shares the name of her latest album Evermore.

The theme park owners claim that Swift’s album has confused visitors and has negatively impacted the park’s presence on search engines. They have also alleged that their merchandise designs have also been infringed upon. The theme park owners are seeking claim damages along with legal costs.

According to their human resources director, visitors have reportedly asked if there is any relationship between Evermore and Swift’s album.

Swift’s representatives have called the lawsuit “baseless, frivolous and irresponsible.” They said, “It is inconceivable that there is any likelihood of confusion between your client’s theme park and related products and Ms. Swift’s music and related products.”

Evermore was released in December and reached No. 1 in the US and UK. It is her sixth consecutive album to do so.
