Taylor Swift’s team will be altering “Folklore” merchandise in response to accusations that designers “ripped off” a logo from a Black-owned business.

“Based on the similarities of the design, I believe the designer of the merch ripped off my company's logo,” Rasool later elaborated on Instagram. “I am sharing my story to bring light to the trend of large companies/celebrities copying the work of small minority-owned business owners.”Commentators online were divided over how to interpret Rasool’s accusation, with many showing their support for the business owner and stating that they hoped Swift’s team “apologizes and makes this right.

“I commend Taylor’s team for recognizing the damage the merchandise caused to my company @TheFolklore’s brand,” Rasoolon Tuesday. “I recognize that she has been a strong advocate for women protecting their creative rights, so it was good to see her team was on the same page.” Swift responded to Rasool's post about speaking to her representatives Thursday, telling the business owner that she respects her work.

I don’t like Taylor Swift. But everything after removing the word “the” from the album logo on merchandise just sounds like a shakedown. Seriously. Does this lady think she owns folklore? If I was TS I wouldn’t give this woman one damn cent.

Taylor, you chose to play the PC game and now you had better watch your step. They're going to keep coming for you and eventually you will be apologizing for some bs.

When You Are Rich / Powerful! You Give Lots Of Trouble & That Is A Fact!!!👍👍

Would you have made this a story had it ben a white owned business nbcnews

What has the world come to. Someone just pick up the phone and sort it out.

Why doesn't she make her next CD release event a block party in Camden, NJ? She can really get in touch with the black community there.

Maybe Kanye shouldn’t have let her finish.

taylorswift13 support this black owned business ... Please retweet and share. Sharing is caring.

. America saved by TaylorSwift . We need a big distraction from the downhill spiral of the Republicans ushering in the MarkOfTheBeast . Business refuse to take cash money now. Sing louder TaylorSwift NancyPelosiAmericanHero

Fuck Swift.

How about, human owned?

What does black owned have to do with anything? Ripping off a logo is ripping off a logo no matter the business owner race.

You’re pandering to the “lost”. A generation of individuals indoctrinated by the left. You know you failed this operation and yet you use them to be your military. Democrats are a sad bunch

And we care?

stay strong, taylor! anyone who really wants to be open minded knows you did nothing wrong, and still stepped up to make sure your interest didn't get in the way of another much smaller business, thanks!

No harm .. apology accepted🙌🏽

Like always taylorswift13 is doing the right thing and quickly. She’s a class act and beloved in our family. Folklore

Uh oh

That is the most American thing I've seen all day.

Shocking. not

That sounds like an admission. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It IS a little too similar to be a coincidence. I think Swift is nuts.

c'mon man that font is the logo, and it ain't from the diaspora. look i get you think she used you, but a country singer using folklore to name an album is now appropriation needing to be checked just seems to be a stretch. still, glad ur moving forward...

Inspiration for her future hit: 'Rip It Off'. A song based on a true story.

Does it really matter who owned it or what color they are? The point is they got ripped off.

'Accusation' does not mean proof. Why do you even consider this pandering to be news worthy. taylorswift13 is just trying to keep from being sued by the natzi/commie party of whom you rep.

clutches pearls A black owned business? Cancel that evil woman.

would it be ok if that was White-owned business ripped off logo? Why the colour is even mentioned there?

shake it off taylor why you keep stealing 😂
