Taylor Swift News: Judge Uses Singer's Song Lyrics to Dismiss Lawsuit
In an almost humorous way of tossing a $42 million lawsuit against the globally acclaimed Taylor Swift, a witty judge has dismissed the case that said Swift took lyrics of Jessie Braham's song.
In his lawsuit, Braham claimed that Swift took 92 percent of the lyrics in his song "Haters Gone Hate" to put it in her "Shake It Off" hit that was included in her "1989" album released in 2014.
The musician brought his cause before a California court, unknowing of the consequences that went with suing one of the most famous faces in the world today.

According to CBC News, United States District Court Judge Gail Standish used Swift's lyrics to dismiss the case altogether. Some of the lyrics were taken from "We are Never Ever Getting Back Together," "Blank Space," "Bad Blood," and "Shake It Off."
In a Twitter post revealing the Standish's dismissal statement, Vulture called her the "world's best judge," while writer Bill Donahue received more than a thousand retweets for his tweet about the case, calling the lawsuit "ridiculous."
"At present, the Court is not saying that Braham can never, ever ever get his case back in court. But, for now, we have got problems, and the Court is not sure Braham can solve them. As currently drafted, the Complaint has a blank space...Braham may consider that mere pleading Band-Aids will not fix the bullet holes in his case. At least for the moment, Defendants have shaken off this lawsuit," part of the dismissal reads.
Swifties immediately went ballistic over the dismissal and slammed Braham for his claims. The musician has previously received criticisms for such a claim that had too many loop holes to even be considered.
According to CNN, Standish said in the dismissal paper that Braham still needs to provide more "factual" evidence that would prove his allegations are enough to reach the court's standards before it can be reconsidered.
This is not the first time Swift has been in the hot seat as earlier this year, a photographer claimed that she was slamming Apple for the same cause that photographers for her concert should sue her for.
People just loved Swift the more for revealing Apple's unfair policies that she said was not beneficial for other songwriters like her. Photographer Jason Sheldon said that time that Swift was a "hypocrite" for her concert policies that allowed photographers and media people to distribute her concert photos in almost the similar way Apple did with her music.
In a similar manner to Tuesday's case dismissal, the music icon shook off Sheldon's claims.
