Taylor Swift has changed the design of her "Folklore" merchandise after being called out for stealing the look from a Black woman's business.
Amira Rasool, who owns New York City-based The Folklore, noted on July 24 that Swift's logo on her new album merch looked a lot like The Folklore's logo and refused to just shake it off.
"I am sharing my story to bring light to the trend of large companies/celebrities copying the work of small minority-owned business owners," Rasool wrote in an Instagram post. "I am not going to let this blatant theft go unchecked."
Swift, however, did not ignore Rasool like an old cardigan under someone's bed.
The copycat merch has been removed from Swift's website, and her team said that none of it had actually been manufactured or shipped yet.
"I commend Taylor's team for recognizing the damage the merchandise caused to my company," Rasool wrote in a follow-up post. "I recognize that she has been a strong advocate for women protecting their creative rights, so it was good to see her team is on the same page."
Swift responded to the tweet, saying she admired Rasool's work and that she'd donated money to the Black in Fashion Council, which launches Aug. 3. Rasool publicly thanked Swift.
It appears there is no Bad Blood here.
