Taylor Swift<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s \u201cLife of a Showgirl\u201d merch might be taken down the shelves soon. Recently, a Las Vegas performer named Maren Flagg filed a trademark infringement case against the pop icon. Meanwhile, Flagg has demanded that the sales under Swift\u2019s twelfth album name be put on hold.<\/p>\n As per Rolling Stone<\/a>, Maren Flagg has issued an order to stop the sales of Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cLife of a Showgirl\u201d merch amid the lawsuit. Talking about the case, Flagg, who performs under the name Maren Wade, filed the lawsuit on March 30, 2026. She claims the title of the \u201cBad Blood,\u201d hitmaker\u2019s twelfth album, is similar to her column, Confessions of a Showgirl.<\/p>\n Flagg has been allegedly working on the title since 2014 and expanded it to numerous fields, including a podcast and live show. In 2015, she reportedly registered it for entertainment services with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.<\/p>\n According to the Filing, USPTO rejected Swift\u2019s attempt to register the name. They claimed, \u201cthat Defendants\u2019 designation is confusingly similar to Plaintiff\u2019s established mark.\u201d Additionally, the office believed that the similarity would likely convince consumers of a connection between the two sides. However, the Grammy-award-winning singer\u2019s team allegedly carried on with the sales.<\/p>\n \u201cWithin weeks, the name appeared on drink tumblers, candles, hairbrushes, and garment tags,\u201d claimed the filing. They further added, \u201cDefendants built a dedicated retail storefront around it, launched collaborations with numerous national brands, and filed a trademark application across fourteen international classes, covering everything from disposable napkins to ponchos.\u201d<\/p>\n The filing continued, \u201cThey never contacted plaintiff. They never sought her consent.\u201d Flagg\u2019s lawyer, Jaymie Parkkinen, commented, \u201cA solo performer who spent twelve years building a brand shouldn\u2019t have to watch it disappear because someone bigger came along.\u201d Moreover, in the lawsuit, Flagg claimed that a similar name had ended up undermining her brand. This has made consumers believe that Wade has copied Swift.<\/p>\n As of now, Swift\u2019s team has yet to comment on the lawsuit.<\/p>\n The post Taylor Swift\u2019s \u2018Life of a Showgirl\u2019 Merch Targeted in Trademark Dispute<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Taylor Swift\u2018s \u201cLife of a Showgirl\u201d merch might be taken down the shelves soon.
