Maren Flagg, a former Las Vegas showgirl, has initiated a trademark lawsuit against pop icon Taylor Swift regarding the title of Swift's latest album, The Life of a Showgirl. Filed on March 30, 2023, the lawsuit claims that the album title closely resembles Flagg's established brand, Confessions of a Showgirl, which she trademarked in 2015. Flagg argues that the similarities could confuse consumers and negatively impact her business.

Maren Flagg, who also performs under the name Maren Wade, has a rich background in cabaret and stage performances, having headlined shows like The Cocktail Cabaret at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. She has appeared on America's Got Talent and shared the stage with notable artists, including country singer Chris Stapleton at the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards in 2023.

In addition to her performances, Flagg writes a column for Las Vegas Weekly and launched a podcast titled Confessions of a Showgirl in 2025, which humorously reflects on her experiences in the entertainment industry. Swift's legal team has labeled the lawsuit as 'meritless' and accused Flagg of attempting to leverage Swift's fame for her own benefit. The legal dispute continues as both parties prepare for further proceedings.
