Three days after marrying Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift picked up one more wedding gift: a federal judge permanently threw out a self-published poet's copyright lawsuit accusing the singer of stealing her words.
US District Judge Aileen M Cannon dismissed the case with prejudice on Monday, meaning Florida poet Kimberly Marasco cannot refile her claims against Swift. Marasco, who represented herself without a lawyer, had accused Swift, producer Aaron Dessner, Republic Records and Universal Music Group of lifting phrases from her poetry across more than a dozen songs, spanning albums from 'Lover' to 'The Tortured Poets Department'.
