Taylor Swift Copyright Lawsuit May Go to Trial

A federal judge of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California denied a request by Taylor Swift to throw out a copyright infringement suit accusing her of stealing lyrics from the female R&B trio 3LW’s 2001 song “Playas Gon’ Play” in her 2014 hit song “Shake It Off.”

Initially filed in 2017, the lawsuit by Sean Hall and Nathan Butler, co-writers of “Playas Gon’ Play”—recorded by 3LW (Kiely Williams, Naturi Naughton, and Adrienne Bailon)— questions whether portions of Swift’s song, including lyrics Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play/And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate are similar enough to 3LW’s Playas, they gon’ play/And haters, they gonna hate.

If Swift’s song meets the legal threshold for copyright infringement, the case will go to trial. Judge Michael Fitzgerald dismissed the case in February 2018, stating that the lyrics were “too brief, unoriginal, and uncreative” to be protected under the Copyright Act. – Source
