Flagg claims that Swift\u2019s album title infringes on her 2015 trademarked phrase \u2018Confessions of a Showgirl\u2019, which she uses to promote her own brand.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"background-of-the-lawsuit\">Background of the Lawsuit<\/h2>\n<p>Flagg, who performs under the name Maren Wade, filed a lawsuit against Swift in March, seeking to block the pop star from selling merchandise related to the album. However, Swift\u2019s lawyers have strongly disputed the claims, calling the lawsuit \u2018absurd\u2019 and an attempt to use Swift\u2019s name and intellectual property to boost Flagg\u2019s own brand.<\/p>\n<p>In a brief filed on Wednesday, Swift\u2019s lawyers stated that Flagg\u2019s lawsuit \u2018should never have been filed\u2019 and that it is \u2018simply Ms. Flagg\u2019s latest attempt to use Taylor Swift\u2019s name and intellectual property to prop up her brand.\u2019 They also highlighted the vast difference between Flagg\u2019s small-scale cabaret shows and Swift\u2019s massive album release.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"comparing-apples-and-oranges\">Comparing Apples and Oranges<\/h2>\n<p>Swift\u2019s lawyers pointed out that Flagg performs in intimate venues such as \u201955+ active communities\u2019, \u201955+ golf resorts\u2019, and \u2018RV & Golf Resorts\u2019, often with dinner and private supper clubs. They also noted that Flagg\u2019s website lists no upcoming performances, casting doubt on the legitimacy of her claims.<\/p>\n<p>The lawyers also accused Flagg of trying to associate herself with Swift\u2019s album title before suing her. \u2018Prior to the album announcement, plaintiff had never used \u2018the life of a showgirl\u2019 in her social media promotion,\u2019 the brief states. \u2018Following the announcement, plaintiff used the phrase or posted generally about Ms. Swift or the album over 40 times on her social media.\u2019<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"key-points-of-the-lawsuit\">Key Points of the Lawsuit<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Flagg claims Swift\u2019s album title infringes on her trademarked phrase \u2018Confessions of a Showgirl\u2019<\/li>\n<li>Swift\u2019s lawyers call the lawsuit \u2018absurd\u2019 and an attempt to boost Flagg\u2019s brand<\/li>\n<li>Flagg seeks to block Swift from selling merchandise related to the album<\/li>\n<li>Swift\u2019s lawyers highlight the difference between Flagg\u2019s small-scale shows and Swift\u2019s massive album release<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"whats-next\">What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n<p>The lawsuit is ongoing, with Swift\u2019s lawyers aggressively defending their client\u2019s rights.
