Ahead of the release of her hotly anticipated new docuseries, it appears that Taylor Swift, 35, may be involved in yet another legal drama. Episodes of The End of an Era are due to start streaming on Disney+ on December 12, but an artist from Florida is seeking to halt the release because of alleged He claimed that he was wrongfully fired from his job at KYGO radio station because she falsely accused him of groping her. Swift claimed that Mueller groped her at a 2013 concert for the singer’s Red album tour. She complained to KYGO, and Mueller was fired two days later, according to the BBC. Mueller’s lawsuit was thrown out by a judge in 2017, and Swift won her countersuit when the jury ruled in her favor. Symbolically, the artist was awarded the $1 in damages that she sought. Jessie Braham AKA Jesse Graham (2015) Braham, the U. S. R&B singer, sued Swift for $42 million, alleging ” In addition to monetary compensation, Braham (who goes by the stage name Jesse Graham) sought to get his name added as a writer on the track. The case was dismissed weeks later for a lack of factual basis, as U. S. District Court Judge Gail Standish ruled that Braham’s allegations didn’t go beyond a speculative level. Standish also took the opportunity to invoke some of Swift’s most-iconic lyrics in the ruling, from songs “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Blank Space,” and “Shake It Off.” Standish wrote in the legal proceedings: “At present, the Court is not saying that Braham can never, ever, ever get his case back in court. But, for now, we have got problems, and the Court is not sure Braham can solve them.” Sean Hall and Nathan Butler (2017) Songwriters Hall and Butler claimed that Swift’s hit song “Shake It Off” used lyrics from their 2000 song, “Playas Gon’ Play.” The song was performed by the girlband 3LW. Swift denied being aware of the song prior to the lawsuit and said she used lyrics from “commonly used phrases and comments” she had heard during her life. The Term of the settlements were unclear, although the song’s writing credits remain unchanged. Evermore Park (2021) In February 2021, a theme park in Utah, named Evermore Park, sued Swift for trademark infringement. The theme park claimed that Swift’s ninth studio album, Evermore, which was released in December 2020, and the merchandise that came with it, violated their trademark. Swift countersued three weeks later, claiming that the park was in fact playing her music on its grounds without the correct license. Both lawsuits were dismissed in March 2021, with both sides agreeing to drop their cases without monetary compensation. Teresa La Dart (2022) La Dart filed a La Dart, of Mississippi, claimed that Swift’s companion book for her Lover album copied “a number of creative elements” from her 2010 poetry book, also called Lover. Swift’s lawyer, Doug Baldridge, blasted the case as “legally and factually baseless” and said that it “never should have been filed.” In July 2023, La Dart’s lawyer filed a motion to drop the case permanently. Billboard reported at the time that voluntarily dismissing the case “made monetary sense” for La Dart because the legal bills could have amounted to tens of thousands of dollars if she lost. Kimberly Marasco (2025) As Newsweek previously reported, Marasco is suing Swift, Universal Music Group and Republic Records for copyright infringement. She alleges that Swift and her co-defendants copied her poetry in lyrics on multiple albums, including Lover, Folklore, Midnights, and The Tortured Poets Department. This isn’t the first time Marasco has taken legal action against the singer. The previous case against Taylor Swift Productions was dismissed with prejudice in September. Amid this ongoing lawsuit, Marasco filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in November, asking the court to halt the release of Swift’s upcoming docuseries The End of an Era, which is due to begin steaming on Disney+ on December 12. Swift’s attorneys have denied the allegations, accusing Marasco of “continuing to assert utterly frivolous copyright infringement claims” against the singer.
