A California judge threw away a copyright lawsuit against Taylor Swift by using Swift's own lyrics.

Musician Jessie Braham filed the suit claiming that Swift took lyrics from his song "Haters Gone Hate" and used them in her song "Shake It Off," the lead single from her hit "1989" album.

In her dismissal of the case, District Court Judge Gail Standish borrowed words from Swift's songs "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "Blank Space."

"At present, the Court is not saying that Braham can never, ever, ever get his case back in court. But, for now, we have got problems, and the Court is not sure Braham can solve them," she wrote.
