A few weeks ago, two songwriters had filed a lawsuit against Taylor Swift saying that she stole phrases from them in her song Shake it off. Now, the singer has hit back saying, the phrases in question are too short to get legal protection, according to TMZ.com.
Sean Hall and Nathan Butle wrote a song in 2001 called Playas Gon Play, performed by 3LW. The song repeatedly uses two phrases” Playas, they gonna play and Haters, they gonna hate.”
Taylor and her legal team say Hall and Butler cannot “monopolise the idea that players will play and haters will hate.” She wants the lawsuit dismissed.
