00:04:02.620As a contractor, you have so much more freedom and you can also leave whenever you want to.
00:04:07.960And that's also why you can't sue for S.H. and retaliation.
00:04:13.040So when Blake Lively is pointing to her actor loan out agreement as basis for her claims and the judge ruled that that contract is invalid, everything collapses.
00:04:25.820So he could say, based on the fact that this agreement was never signed and they were still negotiating it after filming was over, every single claim is now gone.
00:06:13.480says this source. Swift famous friends include Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Emma Stone, the Haim
00:06:20.620sisters and Zoe Kravitz. Kelsey is tight with his longtime teammate Patrick Mahomes, actor Miles
00:06:27.600Teller and of course his big brother Jason Kelsey. No mention of Blake and Ryan obviously and it says
00:06:33.760here they've been they've gone back and forth between inviting everyone and keeping it a small
00:06:38.320and private events. As of now, they've scaled it down. It says here, the first source adds that
00:06:45.400the couple has steered away from mailing hard copy invitations and aren't even sure they will.
00:06:50.880However, their closest friends and family know the venue and dates as the source, even if nothing
00:06:55.880formal has been sent out yet. And it says here that her dad will walk her down the aisle, blah,
00:07:01.180blah, blah. And then it says the first source says that Swift won't have formal bridesmaids,
00:07:06.120but will get ready with her closest girlfriends who are also planning a bachelorette getaway.
00:07:13.080She has already asked her close girlfriends like Selena and Gigi
00:07:17.080to sleep over at her Rhode Island home the night before the wedding.
00:07:22.260So I'm guessing Blake is devastated about this.
00:07:26.600Especially Gigi Hadid is going to be there.
00:07:29.640You know, Blake has Gigi on her list of potential witnesses.
00:07:33.860I'm sure Gigi is not excited about that.
00:07:36.440And of course, she's going to bring her hubby Bradley Cooper to the wedding as well.
00:07:41.600One of Blake Lively's close BFFs who helped her out so much during the edit when she stole the movie from Justin Baldoni.
00:07:50.400And as I can guess, Bradley Cooper is not excited about being dragged into this lawsuit either.
00:07:56.580Especially knowing now that Blake definitely used Bradley Cooper as one of her dragons as well.
00:08:02.100Also, a source adds here that they've been going out to dinner with friends and doing normal things and have been spending more time on the West Coast.
00:08:09.480They were spotted at Beyonce and Jaycee's exclusive Oscar after party at the Chateau Marmont in L.A. on March 15.
00:08:16.460They've been having fun, says the source.
00:08:19.000Well, it's good that she's having fun.
00:08:20.760You know, Blake is also having fun going to the Nickelodeon theme park, as we saw yesterday.
00:08:26.620Anyways, it's interesting that this wedding is going to be so close up to Blake's trial.
00:08:32.960I am sure that this trial is going to go on for at least four weeks.
00:08:37.000It seems like it with the list of witnesses that Blake has put forward so far.
00:08:42.780So the fact that Taylor Swift might be getting married in the middle of this lawsuit, that
00:11:57.440which would likely lead consumers to believe
00:11:59.940there's a connection between the two sides.
00:12:02.260So yes, Taylor actually applied for this trademark and she was turned down.
00:12:09.740In the lawsuit, Wade accuses Swift of ignoring her trademark.
00:12:13.640She says her brand has been undermined with consumers believing that she copied the singer.
00:12:18.980The continued erosion of that mark threatens the entirety of Wade's brand, the complaint states.
00:12:26.740So yes, I mean, most people would obviously assume that Wade was the one copying Taylor and not the other way around.
00:12:35.520Interestingly enough, Taylor Swift has gone after so many people for trademark reasons.
00:12:42.480I reported on one of them just a couple of weeks ago, Swift Home, someone using their last name Swift and trying to sell some home products, I guess.
00:12:53.680She's gone after so many people, and it says here, Swift, who declined to comment, has among the most extensive trademark portfolios in the entertainment industry, with more than 170 active or pending registrations, spanning names, phrases, and commercial designations.
00:13:11.040Her global merchandising operation includes TIS Rights Management, which controls Swift's trademarks across goods and services, and Bravado, which manufacture products under the artist's brain.
00:13:25.940Taylor Swift chose to ignore that this trademark was not available for her, and she named her album Life of a Showgirl anyway.
00:13:35.240Now Wade is saying that she spent a decade building this brand and now people get confused
00:13:41.540and think that she's the one who copied Taylor. That's something called reverse confusion and
00:13:47.060it's the when the big fish drowns out the small ones. I mean of course Marion Wade is a small
00:13:51.920fish. When you look at her Instagram she doesn't have a lot of followers there. I don't know much
00:13:55.900more about her business but she's worked as a showgirl for a really long time. But even if she
00:14:01.480has a case here legally, I have a feeling that this is going to be a long fight for her. Unless
00:14:07.740Taylor wants to settle with her and give her some money to get rid of this case. If she doesn't,
00:14:14.600she could fight her for years. And that is the big problem in these cases. If you ever go after
00:14:21.140a celebrity, someone powerful, someone famous, they have the resources, they have the money,
00:14:27.240They have all the attorneys in the world if they want to.
00:14:31.260And the chances for a regular person to win over a pop star, a mogul, is very slim.
