Overview
- Taylor filed the complaint in a California federal court accusing photographer Jamie Nelson of exploiting her image by selling photos beyond the magazine use.
- Court filings say the band’s manager told Nelson in 2024 that their name, image, and likeness could not be used to promote her business or to sell merchandise.
- After the July 2025 Vogue Portugal publication, Taylor and her manager rejected requests in September to sell prints, yet listings appeared on September 20 and remain online.
- Reports note prints were listed at about $3,600 each and a $69 zine limited to 225 copies, while the lawsuit cites likely consumer confusion and seeks damages for lost profits and reputational harm.
- The images were shot in Los Angeles, a cease-and-desist letter was sent in November, and neither party has issued public comment beyond the filing.
