Congratulations to Taylor Swift, as she can finally breathe a sigh of relief after her copyright claim over her song “Shake It Off” was dropped.
Swift was accused of plagiarizing lyrics from the song “Playas Gon’ Play” by songwriters Nate Butler and Sean “Sep” Hall for girl group 3LW in 2017, although she insisted she had never heard the song.
The singer was on track to win a Golden Globe for her single, “Carolina,” off “Where The Crawdads Sing,” which was nominated for Best Original Song.

Taylor Swift Accused Of Plagiarism

Per Explosionthe musician was sued by songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler after the duo claimed that the hitmaker sampled a cut of a song they wrote for 3LW, “Playas Gon’ Play,” in his 2014 hit “Shake It Off.” In response, the singer stated that he had never heard the music he suspected lifted him up, nor did he know the group that produced it.
“Until learning about the Plaintiff’s claim in 2017, I had never heard the song Playas Gon’ Play and had never heard that song or the group 3LW,” he said, adding that his parents didn’t let him watch until he was 13.
“I have never heard the song ‘Playas Gon’ Play’ on the radio, television, or in any movie. The first time I heard that song was after this claim was made.”
The conflict arose because Hall and Butler’s song had the terms “playas, they gonna play” and “haters, they gonna hate,” while Swift’s lyrics read, “Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, and the haters gonna hate, hate , hate, hate.”
Taylor Swift Receives Early Birthday Present With Suit Dropped

The “Blank Space” singer was greeted with good news just in time for her 33rd birthday when the lawsuit was dismissed by US District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald.
In December of last year, a request to have the lawsuit dismissed was rejected after his lawyers argued both songs used the same public domain phrases, “players gonna play” and “haters gonna hate.”
The judge, Michael W. Fitzgerald, signed the order after Hall and Butler agreed to dismiss the case without prejudice, according to a new court filing Monday via NBC News. It is not known if Swift and the couple are negotiating a settlement due to the recent development, but the lawsuit cannot be re-filed.

The 11-time Grammy award winner announced in August that he wrote the lyrics to “Shake It Off” himself, adding that he never knew who 3LW was, nor the song “Playas Gon’ Play.”
“I remember hearing phrases about the game of players and haters being shared by other kids while attending school in Wyomissing Hills, and in high school in Hendersonville,” the singer wrote in her August filing. “This phrase is similar to other commonly used sayings such as ‘don’t hate the playa, hate the game,’ ‘take a chill pill,’ and ‘say, don’t spray,'” he added.
With the copyright claim behind her, Swift is now completely free to re-record her hit album, “1989.”

The talented and hardworking artist has now re-recorded two of his first six albums, “Fearless” and “Red,” and fans can’t wait to see what happens next.
With her commercially and critically acclaimed 10th studio album, “Midnights,” doing well, fans have more than enough to keep them satisfied and stable while they wait for the next “Taylor’s Version” release.
