Wade, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/andy-ngo-unmasks-antifa\/\" title=\"Andy Ngo Unmasks Antifa\">began writing<\/a> a Las Vegas Weekly column in 2014 that later became a live show and book, holds the trademark as 2015 and claims it achieved incontestable status. The complaint argues that swift\u2019s title closely resembles wade\u2019s mark, and notes that swift had previously sought to trademark The Life of a Showgirl but was denied for being too similar; despite that, Swift and her team continued to use the title in a wide commercial release. The article also mentions that Swift accepted the iHeartRadio Award for Pop album of the Year for The Life of a showgirl, describing the album as happy, confident, and free, inspired by her Eras tour.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Taylor Swift sued for trademark infringement over The Life of a Showgirl<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2492207\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/taylor-swift\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4776\">Taylor Swift <\/a>is facing a federal lawsuit over her album <em>The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>, accused of infringing on Las Vegas performer Maren Wade&rsquo;s trademark for <em>Confessions of a Showgirl<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint was filed Monday in federal court by Wade, who argues that Swift used a title that closely resembles <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.confessionsofashowgirl.com\/?utm_source=ig&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=link_in_bio&amp;fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnUTVBGepD3WYwcI8gZ_csFgatHv-P6UtfRQNqb_gLODNvjno_9eYfM6d98wM_aem_RrZUc62xjrVyeXg6XtWDpA\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.confessionsofashowgirl.com\/?utm_source=ig&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=link_in_bio&amp;fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnUTVBGepD3WYwcI8gZ_csFgatHv-P6UtfRQNqb_gLODNvjno_9eYfM6d98wM_aem_RrZUc62xjrVyeXg6XtWDpA\"><em>Confessions of a Showgirl<\/em>, <\/a>a column Wade began writing for <em>Las Vegas Weekly<\/em> in 2014.
