Now everyone knows what she “thinks”.
Ed Sheeran’s “Considering Out Loud” co-writer Amy Wadge has a winning copyright verdict tattooed on her arm.
A federal jury in Manhattan earlier this month found that the longtime collaborators didn’t rip off Marvin Gaye’s 2014 hit “Let’s Get It On”.
Wadge, 47, last week shared a photo of ceremonial ink on her left arm that read “independently created” in a typewriter-style font.
The heirs of “Let’s Get It On” composer Ed Townsend alleged in a $100 million lawsuit that Sheeran and Wadge’s song contained elements of harmony, melody and rhythm stolen from Gaye’s classic melody.
However the jury decided that the British musicians “independently created” a romantic ballad.
In an Instagram post showing off her latest tattoo, Wadge said she was “over the moon with the decision” after the “three hardest weeks” of her life.
Sheeran, 32, was also emotional after a legal ordeal. The very best-selling singer-songwriter, who rents a $36,000-a-month apartment in Brooklyn Heights, celebrated his legal victory on May 5 with an impromptu performance on the streets of Soho.
“We have spent the last eight years talking about two songs with dramatically different lyrics, melodies and 4 chords which are also different and utilized by songwriters each day all over the world,” Sheeran said in a statement following the decision.
“No person owns them or how they’re played, in the identical way no one owns a color [sic] blue.”
