Global icon Taylor Swift resumed her globe-trotting, record-breaking Eras Tour in Paris last weekend and as part of the newly revamped show, Swift debuted a new section of the show dedicated to her latest studio album, The Tortured Poets Department which she has dubbed, "Female Rage The Musical."

During the set, Swift tears through half a dozen cuts from the album including the anger-fueled anthems, "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me" and "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived".

Now, in a new twist, it has been revealed that Swift has applied to copyright the phrase, though there is no indication if Swift has any definitive plans for its use.

The application, obtained by TMZ, revealed that Taylor's team applied for ownership of its use on, "musical recordings, video recordings, and potential merchandise." 

Will Taylor Swift's Female Rage The Musical make its way to Broadway one day? Only time will tell.
