Swift's legal team responded on May 6, calling the lawsuit baseless and accusing Wade of trying to ride Swift's fame. They argue the offerings target different markets — stadium tours versus small cabarets and 55+ venues — and note Wade's site lists no upcoming shows and her blog hasn't been updated since 2021. The brief also alleges Wade amplified her use of the disputed phrase only after the album announcement and promoted her brand with Swift-related imagery without permission.
Wade's lawyer said on May 8 they will press on and file a response. Swift released the album in October, which sold 4 million first-week units and became her 15th No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The dispute is ongoing as both sides prepare their next moves.
