We're told there were other people present during the weekend and investigators are tracking them all down, wi...

Taylor Swift 's  massive hit " Shake it Off ' was not really hers ... so claim 2 accomplished songwriters who wrote a hit song with similar lyrics 16 years ago ... at least that's what they're saying in a new lawsuit. Sean Hall  and  Nathan Butler  say they wrote a song entitled " Playas Gon' Play " back in 2001, and it Hit #81 on Billboard Hot 100.  It was recorded by a big girl group,  3LW . Among the lyrics ... "Playas, they gonna play and haters, they gonna hate." Not hard to figure out the rest. Hall and Butler say 20% of "Shake it Off" is their song.
