But amid the release and subsequent merch drop hitting her online store, one Black-owned business called out the 30-year-old for ripping off her logo! Amira Rasool, the founder of The Folklore, an online concept shop bringing “Africa & the diaspora’s top contemporary designer brands,” claimed Taylor ripped off her logo for the album-themed sweaters, shirts, and more.
Well, just days later and the Grammy winner has responded, taking swift action to address the allegation. Releasing a statement through her team on Tuesday, a rep revealed:
Yesterday, we were made aware of a complaint that the specific use of the word ‘the’ before ‘folklore album’ on some of the folklore album merchandise was of concern. Absolutely no merchandise using ‘the’ before the words ‘folklore album’ has been manufactured or sent out.”
In good faith, we honored her request and immediately notified everyone who had ordered merchandise with the word ‘the’ preceding ‘folklore album’ that they will now receive their order with the design change.”
