Florida artist Kimberly Marasco has filed a lawsuit against Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Elton John, and other celebrities for copyright infringements. Marasco claims that these artists have copied her work without appropriate credit, citing examples from Swift’s albums Lover, Folklore, and others. She argues that Swift, along with songwriters Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, took inspiration from her poetry in songs like “The Man” and “Mastermind.” Marasco also accuses Beyoncé of deriving inspiration from her work in the song “If I Were A Boy.”
One of the most unusual aspects of the lawsuit is Marasco’s claim that her poem about Elon Musk, entitled “Elon=MC2,” was mirrored in Swift’s lyrics in the song “Mastermind.” She draws parallels between her portrayal of Musk as a genius in the poem and Swift’s reference to a mathematical equation in the song. In addition to Swift and Beyoncé, Marasco has also implicated celebrities like Chaka Khan and Kim Kardashian in the lawsuit.
Swift’s recent song “thanK you aIMee” has been speculated to be a reference to Kim Kardashian, but Marasco believes it could also be about her. The ongoing legal battle highlights the complexities of copyright infringement and the blurred lines between inspiration and plagiarism in the entertainment industry. Fans and critics are closely watching the developments in this case as it unfolds.
