Taylor Swift Denied Accusations That She Copied Shake It Off

According to Page Six, Swift decided to address the 2017 lawsuit, which was filed by songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler, who claim Swift stole lyrics from 3LW’s 2001 hit song Playas Gon’ Play to write Shake It Off. As revealed by court documentation reported by Billboard, Swift claimed she had “never heard” the track she is accused of plagiarizing, and said, “the lyrics to ‘Shake It Off’ were written entirely by me.”
“In writing the lyrics, I drew partly on experiences in my life and, in particular, unrelenting public scrutiny of my personal life, ‘clickbait’ reporting, public manipulation, and other forms of negative personal criticism which I learned I just needed to shake off and focus on my music.
I recall hearing phrases about players play and haters hate stated together by other children while attending school in Wyomissing Hills, and in high school in Hendersonville.
The first time I ever heard the song was after this claim was made.”
It is highly likely that Taylor Swift is telling the truth, as she has no reason to lift songs when she is perfectly capable of writing her own lyrics. Either way, her Swifties will believe anything she says and that’s never really changing.
