Trendy Judge Uses Taylor Swift Lyrics To Dismiss The Lawsuit Against "Shake It Off"

She’s not a regular judge, she’s a cool judge.

A few weeks ago, Taylor Swift was sued by a musician for $42 million because he claimed she had stolen his lyrics to write her mega-hit, "Shake It Off."

Jesse Graham, real name Jessie Braham, claimed in his lawsuit that Swift had ripped off his 2013 song "Haters Gone Hate" when writing "Shake It Off."

The musician claimed "that '92% of the lyrics' of 'Shake It Off' come from his song, that his 'song phrase string is used over 70+ times,' and that Taylor Swift would not have written 'Shake It Off' had he not written 'Haters gone hate,'" according to court documents reviewed by BuzzFeed News.

Braham sought $42 million in his lawsuit, in addition to his name and his publisher's name on all future copies of the song.
