If you want to party like it's 1989, then you'd better ask Taylor Swift's permission first. The pop star has trademarked many of her lyrics from album 1989.

These filings prohibit the use of many of her phrases from latest album 1989 from appearing without a license on everything from guitar straps and accessories to removable tattoos.

The more obscure items covered by her trademarks include walking sticks, typewriters, aprons and knitting implements.

This is actually a smart business move by Swift which could deter bootleg t-shirts and other products from being sold online or even outside her own concerts.

Taylor Swift has had an interesting week with her Twitter and Instagram accounts hacked with multiple posts attempting to convince her 51 million followers to follow the Lizard Squad hacking group. And after a two-week vacation from the Billboard 200 charts, the singer is heading back to the number one slot.
