Taylor Swift Wants To Trademark ‘Swiftmas,’ ‘Blank Space,’ ‘1989’
"Blank Space" singer and Grammy award-winning artist Taylor Swift added more slots for her trademark collection and they included "Swiftmas, "Blank Space," and "1989."
On Dec. 3, Swift applied for a trademark of words and phrases from her songs, which included "Blank Space," a hit from her "1989" album; "A Girl Named Girl," the title of the novel the singer authored when she was 15; "And I'll Write Your Name;" a line from the song "Blank Space;" and "1989," in reference to her most recent album, according to Tantalizing Trademarks.
The said application was made with the US Patent and Trademark Office. It was noted that if the application pushes through, the use of the term "1989" will not be trademarked in itself. This means that it only applies when it is in reference to her album title, since the stylized number is the one up for trademark.
On Dec. 13, Swift also celebrated her 26th birthday, which was set to be a quiet one, according to International Business Times UK. On Dec. 11, the "Blank Space" singer also had her final show in Melbourne, as culmination to the last segment of her "1989" World Tour.
Swift took to Instagram her Melbourne concert photo. In caption, the artist wrote "Melbourne, the first two nights with you have been magical. Tonight we play this show for the very last time. I'm so honored I get to share the last night of the 1989 World Tour with all of you. This has been the most incredible adventure. Thank you for all of it."
The "Blank Space" singer's World Tour commenced in May. She performed 85 shows in various parts of the globe with guest stars Julia Roberts, Kobe Bryant, Lisa Kudrow, Alanis Morisette, and Justine Timberlake.
