The copyright lawsuit filed by Playas Gon&#039; Play songwriters has finally been dismissed freeing Taylor Swift from claims.

All Too Well for Taylor Swift as Judge Drops Copyright Lawsuit for Certified Diamond Song

At this moment, Taylor Swift stands as one of the most successful female artists
of all time. Certainly, you can’t blame fans. It is always her music that always
manages to keep everyone hooked. We saw how her new album Midnights smashed
records in the first weeks of release. The debut week registered 549.3 million
official U.S. on-demand streams and tallied as the third-biggest streaming week
ever.



The American singer secured all Top 10 chart positions in the Billboard Hot 100
chart, beating Drake’s previous year’s record. In fact, she racked up six
trophies at the American Music Awards, beating her record of the most-awarded
artist in AMA’s history. Whether it is awards, sales, billboard success, or
Grammy nominations, the pop star had an astounding year. And here comes another
happy ending for the singer as Judge drops the copyright lawsuit for Certified
Diamond Song.


THE LAWSUIT AGAINST TAYLOR SWIFT FOR THE ‘SHAKE IT OFF’ SONG IS SUSPENDED

According to court documents filed on Monday, Sean Hall and Nathan Butler have
called off their copyright

lawsuit against Taylor Swift. The songwriters previously claimed that the
Fearless singer has imitated their lyrics for the 2014 hit “Shake It Off.” Now
the case has been dismissed by the federal judge in Los Angeles, and they will
never be able to refile it.



It was revealed that the lawsuit was closed since both parties reached an
agreement, but details are not disclosed. Moreover, there will be a trial
scheduled to begin next year on January 17.

Although the lyrics are different in both songs since in “Shake It Off,” Swift
sings “the players gonna play, play, play, play, play, and the haters gonna
hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.” On the other hand “Playas Gon’ Play,” goes like
“playas, they gonna play, and haters, they gonna hate.”

Even the Grammy winner told the court that she never heard this song before
writing her song with Max Martin and Shellback. Meanwhile, if you don’t know,
Shake It Off received three Grammy nominations and became a Diamond back in
2020. The song garnered huge attention racking up more than 10 million sales and
streams, says the reports by RIAA.
