Kimberly Marasco, a Florida artist, filed the lawsuit against Swift, songwriters Jack Antonoff and Aaron Desner, Universal Music Group, Inc. and Republic Records in February.

This is the second time Marasco has sued Swift for copyright infringement. Last year, she filed a lawsuit against Swift and Taylor Swift Productions. While Swift was later dismissed from the lawsuit, the claims against Taylor Swift Productions have not been dropped.

What To Know

Besides Swift, Antonoff and Dessner, the celebrities named in the lawsuit are not facing legal action in this case. The celebrities are mainly mentioned in reference to their creative works.

Marasco first sued Swift in April 2024. Marasco argued that Swift’s songs and music videos have “creative elements” that copy Marasco’s work without authorization or credit.

The complaint mentions several songs and videos from Swift’s albums Lover, Folklore, Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department.

Antonoff was added as a defendant in Marasco’s second lawsuit.

Antonoff collaborated with Swift on several songs featured in the new complaint, including “Illicit Affairs” from Folklore and “Down Bad” from The Tortured Poets Department.

The second complaint named Dessner as a defendant. He worked with Swift on multiple songs allegedly copied, including “Hoax” from Folklore and “Death by a Thousand Cuts” from Lover.

Marasco alleged that Swift’s “The Man” contains original expressions from the plaintiff’s poem “Ordinary Citizen.” Marasco noted that defense attorneys previously compared a verse of “Ordinary Citizen” to Beyoncé’s “If I Were a Boy.”

“However, Beyonce is describing a boy in the world (not in an office setting) and how the boy should be more compassionate toward females,” Marasco wrote. “This is a completely different context and does not contain any similarities and doesn’t use any of the same unique expressions as the Plaintiff wrote.”
