Taylor Swift Said She’d Never Heard Of 3LW Until Her Song “Shake It Off” Got Sued For Plagiarism
In a sworn declaration filed on Monday, Taylor Swift defended herself as the sole writer of her 2014 hit “Shake It Off” in response to a lawsuit claiming she plagiarized some of the lyrics.
Jmenternational / JMEnternational for BRIT Awards / Getty Images“I recall hearing phrases about ‘players play’ and ‘haters hate’ stated together by other children while attending school in Wyomissing Hills, and in high school in Hendersonville,” Taylor said, per Pitchfork.
“These phrases were akin to other commonly used sayings like ‘don’t hate the playa, hate the game,’ ‘take a chill pill,’ and ‘say it, don’t spray it.’”
Dave J Hogan / Dave J Hogan / Getty ImagesTaylor reiterated that she’d never heard of 3LW by announcing she wasn’t allowed to watch TRL until she was 13. She also said she’d never heard “Playas Gon’ Play” on the radio, TV, or in film. According to Taylor, the first time she heard the song was after the plagiarism claim was made.

Although the lawsuit was originally dismissed in 2018, it was later appealed in 2021, with a judge deciding there was “enough objective similarities.”
