Florida visual artist Kimberly Marasco has filed a request in federal court for a preliminary injunction to prevent the series from streaming, claiming that Swift, Universal Music Group, and Republic Records copied her poetry in lyrics and imagery across multiple albums, including Lover, Folklore, Midnights, and The Tortured Poets Department.
Marasco argued that releasing the docuseries before her case is resolved would cause “irreparable harm,” as her creative work would become permanently embedded in worldwide media. If granted, the injunction could delay one of the year’s most anticipated releases, set to premiere on December 12.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who has previously handled Marasco’s two lawsuits against Swift, will decide on the motion. Swift’s legal team dismissed the claims, saying, “Marasco’s claims are absurd and legally baseless. Basic themes or words, such as fire or love, cannot be copyrighted.”
This is Marasco’s second lawsuit involving Swift; her earlier claims were dismissed due to service issues or legal insufficiency, with one case closed with prejudice. Experts say the current injunction request is unlikely to succeed, calling it a common strategy in copyright disputes to seek media attention or delay content releases.
