Taylor Swift is being sued for her latest album ‘The Life of a Showgirl.’
As per a report by The Hollywood Reporter, a Las Vegas-based writer and TV host filed a lawsuit accusing the ‘August’ singer of knowingly dismissing her claim to a similar title as Taylor’s latest LP.
Maren Wade took the legal action on Monday in California federal court, alleging Taylor of trademark infringement, false designation and unfair competition over the title of her last album.
The former Las Vegas showgirl owns the trademark to “Confessions of a Showgirl.”
Maren has requested a court order to refrain Taylor from using the title of her 12th studio album, which was released in October 2025, while also seeking unspecified damages from UMG Recordings and the pop star.
“A solo performer who spent twelve years building a brand shouldn’t have to watch it disappear because someone bigger came along,” Wade’s lawyer told the outlet.
Maren, who is a columnist for Las Vegas Weekly, started column writing in 2014 with the title “Confessions of a Showgirl,” in which she shares about her experience in the entertainment industry.
This later expanded into a podcast and live show featuring pop and jazz music. Under her trademark comes theatrical productions, live stage performances, TV, and many more.
Maren claimed in the lawsuit that Taylor ignored her trademark.
“They did not do so quietly,” the complaint read. “Within weeks, the designation was affixed to consumer goods, stamped onto labels, tags, and packaging, and deployed as a source identifier across retail channels—all directed at the same audience Plaintiff had spent years cultivating.”
