The singer challenged a previous court ruling that sided with Taylor and has now successfully reclaimed her trademark rights following a recent appeal. On Friday, three judges overturned last year's decision that favoured the Australian designer's claim. They noted that Katy Perry had been using her name as a trademark for five years prior to Taylor establishing her business, and that Perry had already reached significant international fame by that point. The judges also annulled Taylor's trademark registration, further solidifying Perry's legal standing.

Taylor expressed disappointment over the ruling, likening her struggle to an underdog story and stating she felt "devastated" by the outcome. The judges acknowledged the unfortunate nature of the case, observing that both women had invested considerable effort into their respective enterprises without knowledge of one another's existence. They highlighted the irony by referencing Perry’s song lyrics in their statements, illustrating the deeply personal stakes involved.

The conclusion of this legal battle comes just as Katy Perry gears up for her upcoming Lifetimes world tour in 2025, promoting her latest album "143", marking a pivotal moment in her career.
