Las Vegas showgirl Maren Wade (performing as Maren Wade) has filed a trademark-infringement lawsuit against Taylor Swift over Swift’s mark The Life of a Showgirl, arguing it is confusingly similar to Wade’s decade-old Confessions of a Showgirl brand. Wade says Swift’s team sought to register the phrase but a USPTO review flagged likelihood of confusion with Wade’s mark, and the registration process has been suspended pending a final decision. The suit also contends Swift used The Life of a Showgirl in commerce without Wade’s consent. A final ruling on the trademark dispute has yet to be issued.
