Taylor Swift did not sue Ella Langley over hairstyle

An article published recently claimed that Taylor Swift has sued fellow American singer Ella Langley for copying her hairstyle.

It was published by The Onion, a publication famous for satire, and most people seem to know that it was satire. 

However, some Taylor Swift fans in countries other than the US and UK are genuinely wondering whether a person could go to such lengths as to sue someone over their hairstyle.

For those unaware, Taylor Swift did not sue Ella Langley. The rumor comes from a satirical article published by The Onion joking about a fake lawsuit over "bangs infringement."

The article reads, "Arguing that the country artist’s hairstyle was damaging the value of her own well-established signature look, pop star Taylor Swift filed a lawsuit Wednesday accusing Ella Langley of bangs infringement. 

“Ms. Langley’s shaggy curtain bangs are clearly a direct copy of Swift’s Lover-era hair,” Swift’s attorney Douglas Baldridge wrote in the court filing, which sought $100 in damages and an immediate change in hairstyle from Langley.
