They're definitely pretty similar. And the thing about trademarks is that you need to defend them or lose them. Even if this one is fine, letting it go means you have less chance of stopping "Swift Music", for example.

Well, Swift has been a huge phenomenon for over a decade, so you’d expect profit-maximising corporations to skate as close to riding her coattails as they can get away with. Sort of how McDonalds allegedly made Ronald McDonald look subtly more like Michael Jackson in the 80s.
