The owners of the theme park also stated that the release of Swift's 'evermore' has caused confusion about whether the two were linked.

As per E! News, the singer's legal team also responded to the claims in a letter to the court writing, "Your client has suffered no damages whatsoever and, in fact, has openly stated that Ms Swift's album release creates a 'marketing opportunity' for your client's troubled theme park."

As for Swift's 'evermore', the surprise album was released on December 11 last year and was the singer's second body of music filmed during the quarantine period.
