<p><a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/taylor-swift/">Taylor Swift</a> set the stage on fire with her <strong>Yahoo livestream with her album, &#8216;1989&#8217;,</strong> leaving Swifties electrified. With the drop of her catchy single &#8216;Shake It Off&#8217; and its glitzy music video, fans were over the moon. And would not you know it, &#8216;Shake It Off&#8217; climbed straight to the <strong>top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts,</strong> cementing Swift&#8217;s status as pop royalty. Dazzling in a vintage-inspired sparkly bralette and shorts combo at the VMAs, she was the epitome of style and musical boss.</p>
<p>But, as they say, every rose has its thorn. Amidst the success, controversy came knocking at Swift&#8217;s door. Apparently, her second hit single &#8216;Shake it Off&#8217; caught the attention of a copyright lawsuit.</p>
<h2><strong>Taylor Swift faced legal battle over Shake It Off</strong></h2>
<p>Back in 2013, Taylor Swift dropped her catchy anthem &#8216;Shake It Off,&#8217; which skyrocketed to become her <strong>most-watched YouTube sensation</strong>, racking up a jaw-dropping<strong> 3.4 billion views</strong> by March 2024. But, like a plot twist in a chart-topping saga, legal drama loomed large. Songsmiths <strong>Sean Hall and Nathan Butler threw down the gauntlet in 2017,</strong> claiming Swift swiped their lyrical magic from <strong>&#8216;Playas Gon&#8217; Play&#8217;.</strong> On the flip side, Swift stated in a filing that prior to 2017, she had never heard the song &#8216;Playas Gon&#8217; Play&#8217; or was aware of the group 3LW.</p>

<p>The courtroom tango lasted a whopping five years until the <strong>curtains closed in December 2022</strong> with a hush-hush settlement. But, that was not the only showdown in Swift&#8217;s wild west of legal wrangles. In 2015, singer <strong>Jessie Braham hurled a $42 million</strong> thunderbolt, insisting &#8216;Shake It Off&#8217; stole his thunder from<strong> &#8216;Haters Gonna Hate&#8217;.</strong> Yet, swift as the wind, the courts swept his case under the rug, leaving the stage set for more melodramatic twists and turns.</p>

<p>Despite facing controversies, the singer of &#8216;Lover&#8217; continues to shine brightly. Her re-recorded albums have reached a special milestone.</p>
<h2><strong>Swift&#8217;s star still shines bright with Taylor&#8217;s versions</strong></h2>
<p>Taylor Swift&#8217;s reimagined albums, dubbed &#8216;Taylor’s Version,&#8217; proved to be a smash hit from the get-go, <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/music-news-taylor-swift-earthquake-here-are-five-eras-tour-songs-that-made-the-earth-shake-reveal-scientists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shaking the earth</a> and charts alike for almost three years. With each release, Swift effortlessly hit the high notes, churning out tunes that soared to the top of global rankings. A special moment unfolded as <strong>&#8216;Is It Over Now? (Taylor&#8217;s Version) [From The Vault]&#8217; claimed dual crowns on Billboard’s Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay charts</strong>, marking a triumphant first for Swift&#8217;s re-recordings on the radio waves.</p>
<div class="flex-video widescreen youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Taylor Swift - Is It Over Now? (Taylor&#039;s Version) (From The Vault) (Lyric Video)" width="1170" height="658" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tNxUxm3-658?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>As &#8216;Is It Over Now?&#8217; ascended the radio charts, Swift&#8217;s dominance reached new heights, leaving competitors in the dust. With <strong>thirteen chart-toppers on the Pop Airplay chart</strong>, Swift outshone the rest, while her <strong>twelfth reign on the Adult Pop Airplay chart</strong> brought her tantalizingly close to breaking Maroon 5&#8217;s record. Despite its gradual climb, &#8216;Is It Over Now?&#8217; captivated listeners&#8217; ears, proving that Swift&#8217;s musical magic knows no bounds, and her reign atop the charts is far from over.</p>
