Las Vegas Showgirl Alleges Taylor Swift Trademark Infringement

Las Vegas performer Maren Wade, who trademarked the brand name Confessions of a Showgirl after a Las Vegas Weekly column and a touring show, has filed a trademark infringement suit against Taylor Swift, arguing that Swift’s album title The Life of a Showgirl and related merchandise overlap with Wade’s brand and target the same fan base. Wade seeks damages and an injunction to stop using the title for goods and services in the future; TMZ has cited the court filings in reporting on the case.
