Taylor Swift has been sued yet again over allegations that she has ripped off another creator’s work. Though this time it’s not a song-theft lawsuit.
Instead, writer Teresa La Dart claims that a book that accompanied a deluxe version of Swift’s 2019 ‘Lover’ album contains various creative elements in common with a book of poetry she published in 2010, also called ‘Lover’.But what elements in particular?
Well, says La Dart’s lawsuit, the two books both follow “substantially the same format of a recollection of past years memorialised in a combination of written and pictorial components within a book”.They also have “a substantially similar cover format, with the author photographed in a downward pose, and colour scheme (pastel pinks and blues) with the same title … with substantially the same introduction page formats with a similarly styled ‘Lover’ title, as well as an earlier photograph of the author in a nature setting and turned to the right and an accompanying forward with substantially similar greetings and wishes for the reader”.Is that it?
Hell no. The two publications have “a substantially similar inner book design with interspersed photographs and writings throughout the body thereof … a substantially similar back cover format, with the author photographed in an upward pose (juxtaposed with the front cover pose), and, again, a substantially similar colour scheme (pastel pinks and blues)”.“Stylistically”, the lawsuit concludes, “the Swift ‘Lover’ book includes creative elements that are not typical of or present within other published books and – as compared with the La Dart work – leaves an overall impression that the Swift ‘Lover’ book is, again, substantially similar in terms of the above-noted design elements.
