July 23, 2020. Way back in 2015, Digital Music News was first to report that soul and R&B artist Jesse Graham was suing Taylor Swift for allegedly infringing upon âHaters Gonna Hateâ in her 2014 track âShake It Off.â.
In California, vexatious litigants must hire an attorney or receive permission from the presiding judge before filing new lawsuits. At the time of this writing, Taylor Swift hadnât commented on her (latest) legal victory over Graham.
Now, five years and four lawsuits later, it appears that Swift has âshaken offâ the legal complaint once and for all.

In November of 2011, right before the CMA Awards, The Triggerman publicly reversed course on Taylor Swift, saying âWe Were Wrong About Taylor Swiftâ partially from the success of âMeanâ and her resiliency for taking criticism: We were wrong about Taylor Swift. I was wrong about Taylor Swift.
When Taylor Swift first came on to the scene, she sang cheesy teenage pop songs, and we chastised her for it, when in truth, she was doing what all the great songwriters did over the years: write what they knew about, what inspired them.
The hint for âMeanâ spells out âI Thought You Got Me .â This, along with the line âwith your switching sidesâ from the song itself seem to point squarely at Bob Lefsetz as the âMeanâ muse with little or now wiggle room, and contrary to the information Taylor has conveyed in interviews.
Bob was a big proponent of Taylor Swift over the years, specifically for her savvyness with social media, and her ability to connect with her fans, and her willingness to give free songs away to entice new fans and created loyalty throughout her fan base. Bob Lefsetz has been around for many years, and is most famous for publishing The Lefsetz Letter, an industry periodical that talks about the music business and trends. He came into more notable, public prominence for being on the right side of the issue dealing with the digitization of music and MP3âs. For years he warned the industry that digitization was the direction music was going, and the industryâs slow response and subsequent revenue losses made him look like a genius.
In February of 2010, after Taylor Swift famously bombed a performance on The Grammyâs with Steve Nicks, Bob Lefsetz came out against Taylor, saying:
In many ways, Bob Lefsetz took the point for the post-2010 Grammy criticism of Taylor. When confronted with whether âMeanâ was about him, Lefsetz seemed dismissive and not committal when analyzing the lyrics: Doesnât sound like me.
Taylor is notorious for being a tech savvy, socially engaged artist. From its inception, Saving Country Music has been dedicated, if not obsessed with optimizing its Google exposure as a way to find new readers.
