Singer Taylor Swift denies allegations of copyright infringement on "Shake It Off"

American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has vehemently denied the allegations of copyright infringement on "Shake It Off". She has also introduced two other songwriters Max Martin and Shellback to substantiate her claims. This came after Swift was accused of copying the lyrics of her hit song "Shake It Off".

The song was written by the trio Swift, Shellback, and Martin in 2014, and this is the second time that claims have been made that she copied the song.

Two songwriters, Sean Hall and Nathan Butler believe that Swift copied the song that she initially wrote for a band named 3WL. The title of the song was "Playas Gon' Play". The duo has claimed that Taylor lifted the lyrics of their song written in 2001.


Swift categorically denied knowing that the earlier song ever existed and said she got to know about the song after someone claimed the lift.

She heard the song "Playas Gon' Play" for the first time when someone claimed it. She vehemently disagreed that the song was copied from the earlier song and pointed out that some of the sayings are universal.

She spoke about how Wyomissing Hills and Hendersonville schools would use phrases like "players play, and haters hate". Also, these universal sayings have been used in many songs, movies, and plenty of situations where they are arbitrarily rattled off and are a part of colloquial sayings of societies.



These sayings have been there even before "Shake It Off" was released. e even put her convictions about not ripping off the lyrics forward to her co-writers Shellback and Max Martin, who also denied having any knowledge about the song "Playas Gon' Play".

She claimed that Shellback provided the drumbeat while she and Martin provided the melody, and she wove the lyrics around that tune to create "Shake It Off" for her 5th album "1989".

Taylor Swift is also in deep trouble with her fans for having the maximum carbon emissions among all celebrities. Fans recently ticked her off for using her private jet many times.
