Las Vegas Showgirl Sues Taylor Swift Over Life of a Showgirl Trademark
TL;DR
A Las Vegas performer, Maren Wade, has filed a federal trademark lawsuit in California alleging Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl branding is confusingly similar to Wade’s established Confessions of a Showgirl trademark. Wade seeks a permanent injunction against using the mark on goods and services, disgorgement of profits, and a jury trial, naming Swift’s affiliated entities; Swift’s team reportedly continued use after the USPTO flagged potential confusion and declined the mark, with no immediate comment from involved parties.
