Taylor Swift shakes off US copyright lawsuit

A US copyright lawsuit alleging that Taylor Swift stole lyrics to her hit song Shake It Off has been dismissed by a judge.

Axar.az reports that it comes just over a month before the case was set to go to trial on 17 January.

The case was brought by songwriters Sean Hall and Nate Butler who claimed that Swift lifted lyrics for her song from their own Playas Gon' Play, performed by US girl group 3LW.

The multi-award-winning singer said she had drawn from her own experiences and "commonly used phrases and comments" she had heard throughout her life for the track and that the lyrics had been written, "entirely by me".

In a filing made on Monday, Judge Michael Fitzgerald dismissed the lawsuit "in its entirety".a
