Taylor Swift has finally shaken off a copyright lawsuit over song lyrics that her attorneys had called “absurd.”
A federal judge on Monday (July 6) dismissed an infringement case filed by Kimberly Marasco, a self-published Florida poet who claimed that the superstar stole lyrics from her poems for more than a dozen songs, spanning Lover, Folklore, Evermore, Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department.
