Taylor Swift’s legal battle with a Utah theme park has drawn to a close.

The Evermore theme park in Pleasant Grove, Utah, sued Swift earlier this year alleging the artist had infringed its trademark with her album Evermore, released in December 2020.

Swift's representatives called the lawsuit “baseless”. The singer then counter-sued the park alleging the venue had used three of her songs without a licence, Rolling Stone reported at the time.

A spokesperson for Swift has now told FOX 13, a TV station in Salt Lake City: “As a resolution of both lawsuits, the parties will drop and dismiss their respective suits without monetary settlement.”

Ken Bretschneider, the CEO of the Evermore theme park, told the station in a text that the venue is “looking forward to moving forward in a positive direction”.

The Independent has contacted Swift’s representatives and the Evermore theme park for more information.

Swift released Evermore as a sister record to Folklore, unveiled five months prior in July 2020. Both records were surprise releases crafted during the coronavirus pandemic.

Folklore won Album of the Year at the 2021 Grammys earlier this month.
