“Haters gone hater, playas gone play”.

In Mr Braham’s song, the chorus comprises: “Haters gone hater, playas gone play/ Watch out for them fakers, they’ll fake you everyday”.

Taylor Swift is being sued for $42 million over lyrics in her 2014 hit track Shake It Off.

This song was released in 2013 – a year before Taylor’s Grammy winning song was debuted.

The singer, who is asking for a jury trial, adding that any money she could receive from the lawsuit would be donated to charities “dedicated to protecting women from similar acts of sexual assault and personal disregard”.

Swift, meanwhile, recently filed a counter suit against former United States radio host David Mueller. He’s basically saying… her entire chorus is a ripoff of his song.

Lawyers for the singer said: “Ms Swift knows exactly who committed the assault – it was Mueller”. He also requested that Swift take a photo with him.

And as per usual, the star was impeccably dressed in a loose-fitting, grey crew neck sweatshirt coupled with a black and white pleated mini skirt. As per usual with concerts in her now 1989 tour, each individual was given a light-up bracelet to wear during the show so that they could all be in her line of view.
