Taylor Swift Sued for Keeping $2.5 Million Following Cancelled Concert
A ticket company filed a lawsuit against Taylor Swift after she kept $2.5 million that she made from a cancelled country music concert in Canada, according to Fox News.
The company is furious over a August 2012 performance at the Capital Hoedown in Ottawa that was cancelled. The suit stated that the singer made $2.5 million for the performance that never took place. The company had to refund out of its out pocket $1.8 million in ticket sales and now wants Swift to pay for their losses.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in New York earlier in February. A rep for the I Knew You Were Trouble singer told TMZ Swift, 23, never made a deal with the ticket company and has not yet seen the filed lawsuit.
At the Grammy Awards on Feb. 10, Swift headlined the show with a performance of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.
The 2013 BRIT Awards take place this week in London and Swift is nominated in the category of Best International Female Solo Artist, alongside Rihanna and Lana Del Rey. Former Best Female BRIT Award winner Kate Nash told Marie Claire, "'I'd be happy to see Taylor Swift win, I've recently got into her and I've always been a Cat Power fan."
One Direction, with Swift's ex-boyfriend Harry Styles, received a nomination for Best British Group and will be performing at the award ceremony. It was rumored that Swift mocked Styles, 19, during her Grammy performance of Never Ever when she put on a fake British accent, similar to the one her ex-boyfriend has.
Styles spoke about his breakup with Swift and said during a radio interview with London's Capital FM on Feb. 17 "I'm okay, thank you for asking. I'm good."
