Taylor Swift<\/a> straight-up jacked a Sin City performer’s brand when she rolled out her latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl” … according to a new lawsuit.<\/p>\n

Maren Wade is suing Taylor for trademark infringement … she says she owns the rights to “Confessions of a Showgirl” … and she claims Taylor’s album and accompanying merch are swallowing up a brand she’s spent over 12 years cultivating.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Confessions<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Wade says “Confessions of a Showgirl” traces back to 2014 when she used it as the name for a weekly column in Las Vegas Weekly. She says the column became a live show, then a touring production, and ultimately a brand encompassing performances, writing, and digital media … all built by her, brick by brick.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wade claims she trademarked “Confessions of a Showgirl” in 2015 … but now she says her brand is under fire from Taylor. Wade says “Confessions of a Showgirl” and Taylor’s “The Life of a Showgirl” are super similar … sharing the same structure, dominant phrase, and “overall commercial impression” … and she says they’re both being used in overlapping markets, and being directed at the same fans.<\/p>\n

In the docs, Wade says Taylor and her people are very familiar with trademark law and knew about the similarity, but pressed forward anyway. Wade takes a shot at Taylor, too, saying the pop star has no issues enforcing her own trademarks.<\/p>\n


\n \"'Life<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Wade says Taylor’s ‘Showgirl’ and its overwhelming commercial presence are drowning out her ‘Showgirl’ … and she’s concerned people will begin to confuse her brand as an imitation of Taylor’s.<\/p>\n

Wade wants an injunction stopping Taylor, her management, her record label, and her merchandising partner from using “The Life of a Showgirl” on goods and services … and she’s also going after Taylor for damages.<\/p>\n

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n

It’s interesting Wade is coming after Taylor with a lawsuit … her social media account seems to be very pro-Taylor, with posts featuring Taylor’s songs and hashtags.<\/p>\n

We reached out to Taylor’s camp … so far no word back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift Sued This Town Ain’t Big Enough For 2 Showgirls!!!
