Taylor Swift is facing another lawsuit after the singer was sued over the book design for her 2019 album, Lover. The Blank Space singer is being sued by poet and author Teresa La Dart, who claims that the grammy-winning singer stole the design of her 2010 book, also called Lover. The writer said in the copyright lawsuit that Taylor's book, which accompanies the album, had copied a number of creative elements from the original. She's seeking over one million dollars in damages. It comes soon after Taylor recently filed a motion in her copyright case after she was accused of plagiarising lyrics for her track, Shake It Off, which the singer denies.
