Fake nude images of Taylor Swift spread online, and her voice and likeness were used to create fabricated political messages and bogus product endorsements. In April 2026, TAS Rights Management filed trademark applications covering short audio clips of her voice and her visual likeness. The filings target trademark misuse rather than protecting lyrics or albums. Copyright-focused AI litigation has centered on whether copyrighted works were used for training or whether outputs closely resemble protected material, including a 2023 lawsuit by The New York Times against OpenAI and Microsoft. Copyright does not necessarily protect identity or provide broad control over a person’s likeness.
