Taylor Swift Sued Again For The Man, Midnight Rain And More Songs by Florida Woman Claiming 25 Million USD in Copyright; Know More

by

In simpler terms, artist Kimberly Marasco from Florida has filed another lawsuit against Taylor Swift, claiming copyright violations across several albums. This time, she’s not only targeting Swift but also her frequent collaborators – songwriters Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner – as well as Universal Music Group and Republic Records. This legal action is a continuation of a complaint Marasco made last year, which was dismissed partly due to technical issues.

In April 2024, Marasco filed a lawsuit that included both Swift and her production company, Taylor Swift Productions, Inc., as defendants. Later in December, Judge Aileen Cannon removed Swift from the case because Marasco did not deliver the lawsuit on time. As of now, the accusations against Swift’s production company are still pending resolution.

Under the guidance of Judge Jose E. Martinez, Marasco has resubmitted her lawsuit and raised her requested compensation from $7 million to $25 million. This legal action also expands the case’s focus, asserting copyright violations in songs such as “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” and “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” which are part of The Tortured Poets Department.

In Marasco’s recent lawsuit, there are mentions of several songs by Swift, such as “The Man” from her album Lover and “Midnight Rain” from Midnights. These same songs were part of the initial lawsuit. Additionally, Antonoff, who collaborated on “Illicit Affairs” (from Folklore) and “Down Bad” (The Tortured Poets Department), has been added to the new complaint, alongside Dessner, who is credited for his work on “Hoax” (Folklore) and “Death by a Thousand Cuts” (Lover).

In my commitment to keeping things transparent, I want to share that there’s another legal matter at hand, distinct from the ongoing dispute with Taylor Swift’s production company. This new complaint, I am about to file, will involve additional parties, but rest assured, Taylor Swift herself will not be part of this specific lawsuit. In due course, I will make another attempt to serve Taylor Swift with the necessary documents.

Previously, Marasco encountered some procedural hurdles. About a month ago, Judge Cannon dismissed a document submitted by Marasco due to non-compliance with court regulations. On the other hand, Swift’s legal team persistently advocates for the dismissal of the lawsuit against her production company.

21 days from now, once I’ve been officially served with the complaint in Marasco’s latest lawsuit, I’ll be eagerly awaiting my chance to respond. As this legal battle unfolds, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and trepidation, wondering if the new judge will let this case move forward or if history will sadly repeat itself.
