Pop icon Mariah Carey has been cleared of allegations of copyright infringement in a lawsuit surrounding her hit Christmas song, "All I Want for Christmas is You." In a recent court ruling, a judge found that Carey did not steal the lyrics for the popular holiday tune, bringing an end to the legal battle that has been ongoing for several months.

The lawsuit, brought against Carey by songwriter Rhonda Johnson, claimed that the lyrics to "All I Want for Christmas is You" were taken from a song Johnson had written several years prior. However, after a thorough review of the evidence, the judge determined that there was no substantial similarity between the two songs.

Carey, who has long been known for her powerhouse vocals and chart-topping hits, expressed relief and gratitude following the court's decision. In a statement to the press, she thanked her fans for their ongoing support throughout the legal ordeal.

As the holiday season approaches, fans of Mariah Carey can continue to enjoy her iconic Christmas song without any lingering concerns of plagiarism. With this legal victory behind her, Carey can now focus on spreading joy and cheer with her timeless music for years to come.
