Many major companies, like The Walt Disney Company, are highly protective of their Intellectual Property. We’ve seen people discuss copyright battles, lawsuits, and public domain rules for decades.
But it’s not just companies that work hard to protect their content. Artists like Taylor Swift have also taken action against copyright infringement. For instance, in 2021, Swift was involved in a case when a fantasy theme park sued the artist. Now, we have an update on this case.
Back in 2021, Evermore Park, a fantasy theme park in Pleasant Grove, Utah, sued Taylor Swift for her “Evermore” album. Following that initial lawsuit, Swift countersued, according to Variety. Both parties dropped the lawsuits in March 2021. According to Taylor Swift’s spokesperson, Variety reported that there was not a monetary settlement in either suit. Now, it’s been announced that Evermore Park has officially closed.
The park opened in 2018 and brought guests on immersive and theatrical adventures throughout the park. Some visitors dressed up in fantasy costumes and developed their own characters and stories inside the land.
Evermore Park owner Ken Bretschneider stated that financial challenges, the pandemic, and inflation have all contributed to the park’s closure. Local news affiliate KSL is reporting that the 12.75 acres of land used by Evermore Park will become a new attraction, currently unnamed and undecided.
Brandon Fugal, the property owner, stated that the park’s operators have defaulted “and have been evicted from the property,” per KSL.com.
