Jessie wanted $42 million in damages, because he had alleged that Taylor "would not have written Shake It Off had he not written Haters Gone Hate."

But PerezHilton.com has exclusively revealed that the lawsuit was officially thrown out of court on Tuesday early this week.

The best part about this whole situation is that in her dismissal of the case, District Court Judge Gail Standish borrowed words from Taylor Swifts song's "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.

She continued, "As currently drafted, the Complaint has a blank space — one that requires Braham to do more than write his name. And, upon consideration of the Court's explanation ... Braham may discover that mere pleading Band-Aids will not fix the bullet holes in his case. At least for the moment, Defendants have shaken off this lawsuit."
