Taylor Swift's latest trademark application has run into a temporary roadblock, raising questions about how it could affect her merchandise and future tour plans.
The singer's company, TAS Rights Management, LLC, sought to register the name of her 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl. However, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has put the filing on hold. This does not reject the application but pauses it while officials review two earlier marks that could legally conflict.
