Taylor Swift's artwork copyright lawsuit has been dropped. The Anti-Hero singer was sued last year but the poet and author Teresa La Dart over Taylor's artwork used for her 2019 album, Lover. Teresa claimed at the time that the Grammy winner had taken a number of creative elements from her 2010 poetry book, Lover, and used it for her own album's artwork of the same name. However, Billboard now reports that a motion was filed in a court in Tennessee on Thursday which stated that Teresa was permanently dropping the case. Ahead of the dismissal, Taylor's lawyers claimed that the allegations were legally and factually baseless and that they never should have been filed.
