Taylor Swift asks US govt to block ‘Swift Home’ trademark
By Nancy Marende, February 13, 2026Pop star Taylor Swift has asked the US government to stop a bedding company’s attempt to trademark the phrase “Swift Home”, saying it could mislead consumers into believing she had endorsed their products.
Her legal team argued that the way Cathay Home has styled the word “Swift” in its branding closely resembles the singer’s trademarked cursive signature.
Cathay Home, founded in New York, states on its site that it sells products through major retailers and has applied for the “Swift Home” trademark for its bedding products.
The BBC has contacted Cathay Home and the Swift teams for comment.
Swift, represented by TAS Rights Management LLC, appealed Cathay Home’s application in a document, seen by the BBC, filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office on Wednesday.
The “Swift Home” mark creates a “false association” to the singer that may lead Cathay Home’s customers to believe the pop star had endorsed its products in some way, the filing said.
This was done with the intent of using Swift’s “goodwill and recognition” for the company’s brand, her legal team said.
The documents said that Swift owns federal trademarks that protect the use of her name and signature on goods, including bedding, clothes and products related to her music.
Swift has filed more than 300 trademarks in the US and other jurisdictions, securing her name, initials, album titles and some lyrics.
The singer‑songwriter is estimated to have a net worth well above Ksh127.5 billion, bolstered by her recent run of record-breaking live shows worldwide.
