Taylor Swift is a hell-raisin', fast-drivin' bad girl --
at least in the eyes of a clothing company that's suing her for
allegedly ripping off its brand to sell her own merchandise.
TMZ obtained a copy of the lawsuit filed by
Lucky 13 owner
Robert Kloetzly
... and in the suit he accuses Swift of intentionally jacking his biz.
Kloetzly says he's been marketing clothes and accessories to a young
rock 'n roll crowd for 20 years, but now Swift is slapping "Lucky 13" on
her own clothing line.
The allegation is ... Taylor is confusing the marketplace. In the docs,
Kloetzly describes her as a tatted up singer who likes "fast cars and
dangerous men who drive them inappropriately" -- and adds that's the
same demo his company targets.
In the suit, Kloetzly goes on to
claim Taylor's music video for "I Knew You Were Trouble" could be an ad
for his Lucky 13 ... because it "depicts stylish, attractive, tattooed
individuals in provocative situations."
Kloetzly wants Taylor's merchandising site shut down. He also wants all
the profits she's made so far ... or the damages to his company --
whichever is greater.
