LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift’s loyal fanbase has taken to social media to defend the pop star amid a copyright lawsuit presided over by Judge Aileen Cannon, a Donald Trump-appointed judge who has declined to dismiss the case.

The lawsuit, filed by Kimberly Marasco, accuses the 'Cruel Summer' singer of using Marasco’s poetry without permission in various songs and videos across Swift’s albums, including 'Lover', 'Folklore', 'Midnights', and 'The Tortured Poets Dept,' as reported by Newsweek.

Taylor Swift’s legal team has twice attempted to have the case dismissed, asserting that the claims are “legally and factually baseless.”

However, Judge Cannon has allowed the case to move forward, a decision sparking intense backlash from Swift’s fans.

The lawsuit follows Swift’s vocal support of Trump’s political opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, which prompted the former president to lash out on Truth Social, writing, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”

Originally filed in small claims court for just $100 and a writer's credit, Kimberly Marasco’s case has now escalated to the federal level, with an amended claim for $7 million in damages, according to the source.

Marasco claims that specific creative elements from her poetry appear in over a dozen of Swift’s songs, citing poems like 'Fallen From Grace' and 'Dealing with Chronic Illness: Vestibular Neuritis.' Her accusations extend to alleged similarities in choreography, including a chair dance routine she claims Swift mirrored.

Judge Cannon’s role in the lawsuit is drawing attention due to her past controversial rulings, including her involvement in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case, which she dismissed earlier this year.

Swift’s fanbase, highly skeptical of Cannon’s involvement, has continued to raise concerns about potential bias, with social media users rallying to Taylor’s side as this case unfolds.

Taylor Swift’s supporters are in an uproar following Judge Aileen Cannon's decision to keep a copyright lawsuit against the star alive.

"This is sickening. That judge should have been dismissed for grossly mishandling her duty to the Constitution," commented a user.

"Well Cannon has to please her master. He's declared his hatred. So we can reasonably expect this to be a circus," said a second.

"It's her reward for dismissing the Georgia case. She needs to be disbarred," claimed a third.

"What a decision to make for Judge Cannon! Do I screw over Taylor Swift to make Trump happy, or do I end up as the lead in a Top 40 song showing what a doofus I am?" read a comment.

"Have no idea about this issue, and not a fan. But I do know this is yet another subject this former local-yocal Judge has absolutely no experience in handling. I doubt she even understands Copyright Law and/or Intellectual Property Rights. The Cannon is probably Googling it right now!" penned a user.
