If I had to choose a champion with deep pockets to fight the LLM companies, it’d probably be Taylor given her success reclaiming her back catalogue, but I’m not sure I quite get how this is gonna be a particularly effective bulwark. I will allow that she’s a much more savvy operator than I and may have something up her sleeve I haven’t considered:

Two of the applications filed Friday are sound trademarks covering her voice, one of her saying “Hey, it’s Taylor Swift,” and the other is “Hey, it’s Taylor.”

The third application is for a visual trademark, described in the filing as “a photograph of Taylor Swift holding a pink guitar, with a black strap and wearing a multicolored iridescent bodysuit with silver boots. She is standing on a pink stage in front of a multicolored microphone with purple lights in the background.”
