When Garth Brooks does it, it's just expected. But TAYLOR SWIFT??? How can my favorite pop singer be so "HEARTLESS?"

Swift Sues Sports Bar After Sting Operation
Taylor Swift wants justice -- after a sting operation in Idaho revealed that a little sports bar was totally cheating her out of ... a few dollars a month.Swift has attached herself to a copyright infringement lawsuit spearheaded by BMI -- the enforcer of music royalties.
