Taylor Swift has filed a declaration to the judge in the Shake It Off plagiarism lawsuit to say that she had never heard the song she’s accused of lifting, “Playas Gon’ Play”, until she was made aware of legal action.
“The lyrics to ‘Shake It Off’ were entirely written by me”, Swift said in paperwork filed in response to the allegation from two songwriters from the band 3LW. They have said that Swift’s 2014 hit infringed upon a single from the group that peaked at No. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2001.
