After the release of Taylor Swift’s newest album, Evermore, back in December, an Utah fantasy theme park filed a lawsuit on Swift. On February 2, almost a month after the release of Swift’s album, the park, called Evermore Park, filed a lawsuit over trademark infringement. They claimed that Swift’s album caused confusion which negatively affected the parks online presence. They also claimed that Swift’s merchandise for her album was very similar to their park’s merchandise.
In late February, the team that handles Swift’s trademarks and rights to her music, TAS Management, countersued. TAS Management claimed that the theme park illegally used Swift’s music without her permission and without obtaining a proper license. After Swift’s management team filed a countersuit against Evermore Park for engaging in copyright infringement against Swift, both parties involved dropped their respective suits. A spokesperson for Taylor Swift told Rolling Stone, “As a resolution of both lawsuits, the parties will drop and dismiss their respective suits without monetary settlement.”
