テイラー・スウィフト側の弁護団は水曜日、ロサンゼルスの裁判所において、アルバム『The Life of a Showgirl』に関連するグッズ販売の差し止め請求に対し、緊急の異議を申し立てた。この審問は、パフォーマーのマレン・ウェイド氏が申し立てた商標権侵害の主張を受けたものだが、裁判所は現時点で結論を出していない。
スウィフト側の代理人を務めるJ・ダグラス・ボールドリッジ弁護士は、ウェイド氏の請求は表現の自由の保護に抵触すると主張した。同氏は、消費者が本アルバムを、ウェイド氏が商標登録している「Confessions of a Showgirl」の名を冠したライブショー、ポッドキャスト、または書籍と混同することはないと指摘した。また、ボールドリッジ氏は、ウェイド氏が過去8か月にわたり、異議を申し立てることなくハッシュタグを利用して自身とスウィフトを関連付けていた事実を挙げた。
