STOP in the name of TAYLOR – you wanna get down to “This Sick Beat,” you gotta go through T-Swift herself!
At least that’s what the pop princess is referring to when she recently filed trademarks for some of her most quotable song lyrics from her No. 1 selling album, 1989. So, according to the documents released, Taylor has filed to trademark these lyrics two days before her album was released last October.
But why? Well Taylor wants to ensure that NO other artist uses her “memorable” phrases like: “Party like it’s 1989,” “Cause we never go out of style,” “Nice to meet you. Where you been?” “Could show you incredible things,” and of course, the ever-popular, “This sick beat” These trademarks would not allow anyone to use the lyrics on any type of product which includes clothing, handbags, guitar accessories, ornaments, containers, cookware, towels, blankets, wind chimes…because who doesn’t want this sick beat on their wind chimes….oh and there’s more! Clocks, jewelry, stationary, Christmas tree decorations, toys, wigs, shoe laces, stockings, sun care products, ribbons, skin soap, and I could keep going! So we’re sorry to completely burst your bubble, but now, you’re never going to be able to purchase soap with the words, “Party like it’s 1989” on it. Like, EVER.
Taylor is doing this to protect her brand and to of course make money, But Taylor isn’t the only popstar who has done this. Queen B herself, Beyonce, recently went after a shop on Etsy for selling coffee mugs, saying “Feyonce” on them, because she felt that the pun was way too coincidental and played off of her self titled album… That’s right – bow down, brides to be.
Other popular phrases that are trademarked? That’s Hot, by Paris Hilton/ Tebowing made famous by Tim Teabow / 50 Cent trademarked by Fitty himself, Curtis Jackson, and speaking of Queen B, she also trademarked her daughters name Blue Ivy Carter,
So Taylor isn’t the only one doing this but I am dying to know what you guys think about this bold business move? Is it Savvy and smart? orrrr a little too over-the-top and ridiculous? They are phrases people have said and used many times before 1989 has come out! Just saying.
