    I like some of her music
    "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

      The other day, a fifth grade boy on my daughter's bus wore a Taylor Swift shirt to school. A couple of the bus bullies started teasing him about it and giving him a hard time, until the boy started crying. My daughter, about the smallest girl in her grade, stood up and told the bullies to knock it off.

      So the Addison family are public T-Swift defenders.

                  taylor swift being sued for ripping off the lyrics to shake it off

                  The musician bringing the suit is Jessie Braham. He claims that his song, "Haters Gone Hate," has the same 22-word phrase that Swift used in her hit song. Braham said he copyrighted "Haters Gone Hate" in February 2013.Swift's song has the lyrics: "Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play. And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate", as well as "And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake". It was included in her hit album "1989," which she released in 2014.
                  Braham's song has the lyrics "Haters gone hate, playas gone play. Watch out for them fakers, they'll fake you everyday."

                    Anything to damage Taylor is okay by me. These copyright cases are not easy to predict in terms of content rip-off.
                    "Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

                    Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                        lol. This guy was such a creative genius to be about the 10,000th person to shoehorn the phrase "haters gonna hate" into a song approximately 20 years after it was f*cked out of existence back in the mid 90s by rap acts such as Bone Thugs n Harmony, Domino, Biggie Smalls, Puff Daddy, etc.. I think this guy is actually in imminent danger of getting roasted on a spit by the Marvin Gaye estate, however.

                              Haha.



                              A California judge threw away a copyright lawsuit against Taylor Swift by using Swift's own lyrics.
