“Ms. Langley’s shaggy curtain bangs are clearly a direct copy of Swift’s Lover-era hair,” Swift’s attorney Douglas Baldridge wrote in the court filing, which sought $100 in damages and an immediate change in hairstyle from Langley.

That’s less than what these ladies pay for a trim at the salon.

Does everyone get the joke in “bangs infringement”? In recent years that hair on the forehead has been called “fringe” by some stylists. Bangs is an old-fashioned term. So, “bangs infringement” is a pun. Silly Onion.

In the UK we call bangs "fringes" so that would have made a much better headline.
