The copyright action involving Taylor Swift and her 2019 album Lover artwork has been withdrawn.
Teresa La Dart sued Swift for copyright in March 2022, claiming that Swift had exploited the cover of her 2010 poetry book Lover as inspiration for the book that accompanied the album.
On Thursday, July 27, La Dart rejected Swift's federal case in Tennessee. Swift's attorneys called the complaint "legally and factually baseless," and urged its dismissal.
They demanded this voluntary discharge, not a settlement. In the first court filing, La Dart accused Swift of taking "a number of creative elements"
from her 2010 poetry book for her 2019 Lover book, including "pastel pinks and blues."
Swift used "a remembrance of previous years memorialised in a combination of written and pictorial components," including "interspersed photographs and writings," La Dart said.
