Taylor Swift has filed a motion to dismiss a trademark infringement lawsuit brought against her by Vegas showgirl Maren Wade. The lawsuit claims that Swift's album 'The Life of a Showgirl' infringes on Wade's 'Confessions of a Showgirl' brand. Swift's legal
team argues that there is no likelihood of confusion between the two brands, as their goods and services differ significantly. The motion also challenges the jurisdiction of the California federal court over Swift, who resides in Tennessee. The lawsuit comes just days before Swift's anticipated wedding events.
