Maybe this is why she missed the VMAs?!?! Or…
UPDATE: Shifting away from jokes and toward genuinely serious matters, Hayley Mason of Nashville’s WSMV reports that Swift is being considered as a juror for a case involving charges of aggravated rape, aggravated kidnapping, and domestic assault. She told the court that she is involved in a civil sexual assault case that hasn’t gone to trial yet (presumably her battle with the Denver radio DJ who allegedly grabbed her butt) but she can be impartial. At this point, after two potential jurors have been dismissed, Swift is still in the pool.
