Songstress Taylor Swift, 26, was called up as a potential juror in a sexual assault case in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday, but was dismissed because of her own lawsuit against former radio host David Mueller.
A website reported, "Taylor explained that she has an ongoing lawsuit against the DJ, who she accused of grabbing her bum when they met backstage at her concert in Colorado last year, and the judge ruled she could not be impartial in the aggravated rape and kidnapping case."
The Blank Space singer was dressed in black with a badge on it that read âjuror'.
Ken Whitehouse, one of the spokespersons for the Davidson County district attorney general's office, was quoted saying, "She asked to be left off out of concern for an upcoming trial in Denver where she was, she used the term, âgroped' by a fan at a meet-and-greet."
Last year, Mueller filed a lawsuit against Taylor, claiming he was fired from a country radio station after being kicked out of a Taylor concert when her security team made the allegations against him.
