And, she says, the particular style of photos on the cover and in the foreword is too close to chalk up to coincidence – particularly the use of pastel blues and pinks in the color schemes of both books. According to the lawsuit, La Dart claims Taylor and her company lifted crucial elements of her book for Taylor’s book of the same name – a book that went on to sell nearly 3M copies in the US alone. The concept of Taylor’s book – “a recollection of past years memorialized in a combination of written and pictorial components” – also identical, according to La Dart.

Taylor Swift has been sued in yet again. Poet and author Teresa La Dart has filed a copyright lawsuit against Swift and has sought $1 million in damages.

The lawsuit notes that “a number of creative elements” from her book Lover - a self-published collection of poems - were copied by Swift for her own book of the same name. She has been accused of plagiarizing 2001’s Playas Gon’ Play by the American pop trio [3LW](https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/lyrics-written-entirely-me-taylor-swift-addresses-copyright-lawsuit-shake-it-off).

Taylor Swift Hit With Hefty Copyright Lawsuit Involving 'Lover' Journals (Parade Magazine)

Taylor Swift has been hit with yet another copyright lawsuit, this time over the design of the journals she released as companions to her "Lover" album.

Initially, it is important to note Miss La Dart feels strongly that her full work needs to be compared with that of Miss Swift’s before a conclusion is made here. According to documents obtained by Parade, La Dart claimed that Swift’s journals “included a number of creative elements that copied the expressive designs and arrangements” of her own collection of poetry. Swift produced four different editions of the journal, each containing different scans of entries from her childhood journals, handwritten song lyrics, and photographs arranged somewhat like a scrapbook at the beginning and end of the first section.
