Taylor Swift released from jury duty
Jurors are asked to explain their line of work. Taylor Swift is asked, few people chuckle at the obvious. She responds, "I'm a songwriter."

When asked, Swift tells prosecutor she is involved in civil sexual assault case that hasn't gone to trial yet but says she can be impartial.

Down to the end, Taylor Swift has been dismissed from the possible jury pool of the rape trial. Other jurors to be sworn in soon.

Humble Queen.
Well duh. That would be a major distraction.
tbh celeb or not this probably would get her dismissed from the case. my dad was a juror on a horrific rape case and anyone who had been raped or knew someone who had been raped they were automatically dismissed.
Or it could just be that the court system doesn't want a rape victim to be subjected to the media circus that would spring up around taylor's presence in the courtroom. The victim 100% deserves to not have her picture taken or her identity revealed when it's not her choice.
i hope i or loved ones are never in that position ofc but
Which sexual assault case is she referring to?

I'm surprised they made her go in general since she's a big distraction to the rest of the jurors tbh
In another life she could've been a great lawyer, I mean she still can.
Yesssssssss.
