Taylor Swift seeks to trademark her voice amid AI content surge

Taylor Swift has applied to trademark her voice in the United States, a move similar to one made by actor Matthew McConaughey, as artists increasingly move to protect their likeness and sound from the rise of AI-generated replicas. The singer submitted two sound recordings to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Each begins with "Hey, it's Taylor" and announces the release of her latest album, "The Life of a Showgirl," which was released in early October.
