Can Taylor Swift Really Trademark “This Sick Beat”?

Yes, and Here’s Why

Taylor Swift just tried to trademark “This Sick Beat.” Here’s why she can, and why it makes a whole lot of financial sense.
The internet almost exploded Thursday over news that pop star (and freshly minted New Yorker) Taylor Swift has trademarked the phrases “This Sick Beat,” “Nice to Meet You. Where You Been?,” and “Party Like It’s 1989,” among others.
Actually, that’s not quite true. Contrary to many reports, Swift has not yet been granted any of these trademarks—she’s merely applied for them and is awaiting approval by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Well, that’s “my girl”.
Business say and always finding a new wrinkle!
Like Cher, “barbara streisand”, and Dolly Parton, you have to back the beauty with brains.
Argh!
300$ a pop for trademarks?
Maybe I can trademark “fowgi” and “fat old white guy injineer”?
Too descriptive of a real thing?
