SALT LAKE CITY — Utah's Evermore Park and Taylor Swift have decided to drop their respective lawsuits, ending a legal battle.
According to a court document and reports on Wednesday from Billboard, Variety and Rolling Stone, the bad blood between Swift and the Utah theme park may be over, though it's likely they are never ever getting back together.
The lawsuit began when the theme park located in Pleasant Grove sued the singer for trademark infringement after Swift released the surprise album "Evermore." Evermore Theme Park argued that Swift had borrowed from the park's marketing and said the album had created "actual confusion." Additionally, the company alleged that the album's release had overshadowed the theme park's online presence.
Swift's legal team argued that the business hadn't suffered any damages as a result of the album, calling the claims in Evermore's cease-and-desist letter "baseless." The bad blood between Swift and the company escalated when her legal team countersued saying the park improperly borrowed from Swift.
Attorneys with TAS Rights Management argued in the counter lawsuit that when Evermore's employees consistently performed Swift's songs without permission to do so, the performances and use of the music were unlawful.
The end game for the park was unclear, with Swift's attorney's pointing to the fact that the attraction had expressed excitement at the buzz the album had created surrounding the Evermore name. One of the tweets read: "Absolutely love that everyone online is talking about us. ... #Evermore! Thank you!"
Swift and the Utah attraction seem to be out of the woods, with both teams dropping their lawsuits.
Further details were not released.
