Celebrity Lawyer Explains What Taylor Swift’s Prenup Should Include

Quote: “Because Taylor has so many streams of income relating to her work and brand, any agreement to share marital earnings could lead to a dispute over what those earnings were,” said Los Angeles-based top family law attorney and legal analyst Christopher Melcher, who handles celebrity and high-net- worth divorces in California.

“A premarital agreement will be essential to protect the intellectual property that Taylor creates during the marriage. Without one, creative work produced after the wedding could be considered joint property, and in the hopefully unlikely event of a divorce, that might mean splitting royalties or even control of her catalog,”  explains Melcher, who is a partner of Walzer Melcher Yoda LLP, which is ranked as a high-net- worth top family law firm.
