Country icon recently made a shocking confession about accidentally getting him into serious legal trouble over a song.

In 2017, the songwriters of 3LW's 'Playas Gon' Play' sued Swift for the lyrics 'players gonna play," and "haters gonna hate" in "Shake It Off." Swift explained during the deposition that she first heard the phrases in Church's 2014 song "The Outsiders."
'She was saying she never heard it on the [original song], which is what they were suing her for. And two weeks later, I got served by the people that were suing her!' Church told Rolling Stone.
He continued, 'I sent her a text, and she responded. I was like, 'Hey, thanks. Next time, let's just skip that part?' And she sent me a text: 'I'm sorry. It's the truth, though. That's when I first heard that phrase.''
Since then, Church's case has been settled. (Swift's lawsuit, meanwhile, was dismissed before it went to trial in December 2022.)
Hopefully, there wasn't any "bad blood" over the incident!
In other Swift news, the "So High School" songstress, 35, recently purchased the masters to her first six albums—meaning she now officially owns her entire music catalog.
A rock legend issued a direct message after hearing the news. Not to mention, King Charles recently sent an unmistakable message about Swift.
