Singer Taylor Swift is refuting a new lawsuit claiming that her lyrics for the 2014 single \u201cShake It Off\u201d are unoriginal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a ridiculous claim and nothing more than a money grab. The law is simple and clear. They do not have a case,\u201d Swift\u2019s representative tells people.com in a response against songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler.<\/p>\n
Hall and Butler reportedly sued Swift for copying their 2001 song \u201cPlayas Gon\u2019 Play\u201d which was recorded by American girl group 3LW, reports tmz.com.<\/p>\n
The lyrics to their song include: \u201cPlayas, they gonna play and haters, they gonna hate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShake It Off\u201d , written by Swift, Max Martin and Shellback, nclude lyrics such as: \u201cCause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play\/ And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.\u201d<\/p>\n
In November 2015, a California judge dismissed a lawsuit against the singer that stated she stole the lyrics \u201chaters gonna hate\u201d from R&B singer Jesse Graham, who filed a $42 million lawsuit against Swift.<\/p>\n
U.S Magistrate Judge J. Standish provided a written dismissal to the copyright suit, even quoting Swift\u2019s lyrics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
