Now, she filed a second amended complaint on October 14, alleging that 11 of the Life of a Showgirl star's tracks and introductory text of her The Tortured Poets Department is similar to her own "personal memoirs, poetry and other art," published between 2017 and 2019, according to Star Magazine.

As per Marasco, Swift copied a "rigged-race metaphor” in The Man, and “asylum-like imagery” and “rare historical references to Nellie Bly” in her track Fortnight. Moreover, the compared love to the sky in Illicit Affairs.

Marasco claimed that the sky imagery is "deeply personal, rooted in her experiences as a flight attendant.”
