In a legal battle that captures the intersection of music and showbiz, Maren Wade has taken Taylor Swift to court over her latest album, 'The Life of a Showgirl.'

Wade asserts the album borrows too heavily from her 'Confessions of a Showgirl' column and brand, which has been her trademark since 2014.

The lawsuit claims Swift's album, which sold 4 million copies upon release, creates confusion and infringes on Wade's established brand identity.
