America’s Sweetheart is being sued?! Say it isn’t so!

Apparently the talented songstress, Ms. Taylor Swift has become the target of a lawsuit that claims she collected a whopping $2.5 million performance fee for a performance at a Canadian concert that never actually happened.

Last August, Swift was reportedly set to perform at Ottawa’s Capital Hoedown, but when the show was scrapped due to “organizational problems,” fans demanded their money back thereby leading to a bit of an issue for FIRE USA Inc. (the company responsible for handling the tickets) and the $1.8 million loss they were hit with.

The company, which is based out of Florida, says in the suit that Swift and her management company are in breach of the October 2011 contract and are seeking the $1.8 million unfortunately lost, but Team Swifty has countered that her contract was never even with FIRE USA Inc.

Ah, the back and forth legal banter begins! Personally, I only really enjoy the law when it’s portrayed on movies and TV, but perhaps these legal woes could inspire Taylor to write a few more number-one hits? How awesome would it be for her to incorporate “You can’t handle the truth!” into some song lyrics?

The whole case is a bit of unfortunate news for the starlet who’s been having her fair share of negative press attention lately, mostly due to her headlines-garnering love life. From who she should (or shouldn’t) date to even Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger offering up some free advice, there’s certainly no shortage of opinions on Taylor and her array of suitors.

But lest we forget, the girl is still 23 years old the last time I checked. Can we cut her a break? I’m pretty sure most 23-year-olds haven’t even begun to process what they want to do with their lives, nevermind find a soul mate. Seeing as how Taylor’s career is on a pretty successful track, I think settling down with Mr. Right is probably the least of her concerns.
