Hollywood gossip often makes for wild headlines, but this one hits differently. Sydney Sweeney, the actress taking over screens everywhere and leaving a noticeable mark on the entertainment industry in recent times, has inadvertently pulled pop superstar Lizzo into a legal mess. It all started with a song connected to the Euphoria star, and now the musician finds herself in the middle of a copyright dispute.

The showbiz world is abuzz, and the industry is watching closely as this unexpected clash between Hollywood and music unfolds.

Lizzo is facing a copyright lawsuit over an unreleased song that gained attention on social media in August for mentioning actress Sydney Sweeney. The GRC Trust, according to the BBC, claims the pop star sampled their 1970s track 'Win or Lose (We Tried)' without permission, seeking lost profits and an injunction to block further distribution. The song includes the line, “I got good jeans like I am Sydney,” referencing Sweeney’s American Eagle campaign. Lizzo’s team said they were surprised, as the track was never commercially released or monetized.

Lizzo posted a 13-second clip of the song in discussion on Instagram and TikTok in August, which has since been deleted. The song was dubbed 'Good Jeans or I am Goin' In Till October' by fans, per the BBC. It went viral for the aforementioned reference to Sweeney’s jeans campaign, which sparked a political debate over the alleged promotion of white beauty standards. GRC Trust reportedly attempted an informal resolution before filing the lawsuit in California. This, notably, is not Lizzo’s first time facing copyright disputes.

Lizzo has a history of copyright battles, including a 2019 hit that was later resolved through a settlement. Lizzo’s past copyright dispute resurfaces amid legal troubles.

In 2019, producers Justin Raisen, Jeremiah Raisen, and Yves Rothman sued Lizzo over her breakout hit 'Truth Hurts,' claiming it was based on an earlier song they co-wrote with her in 2017 called 'Healthy.' Lizzo denied the allegations, and the case was eventually dismissed after an out-of-court accord. Around the same time, singer Mina Lioness claimed the viral lyric of Lizzo's song 'Truth Hurts,' “I just took a DNA test, turns out I am 100 percent that b----” was taken from her social media post. Lizzo later credited Lioness as a co-writer, something she earlier wanted to trademark.

As her newest legal battle unfolds, the spotlight on Lizzo and Sydney Sweeney shows just how quickly a moment of creativity can turn into controversy in today’s hyper-connected world. Beyond the courtrooms and social media debates, this dispute underscores the fine line artists navigate between inspiration and infringement. Whether the case will end in a settlement like Lizzo’s past disputes or set a new precedent remains to be seen. One thing is clear: the collision of Hollywood and music culture like this is seen only once in a blue moon.
