Taylor Swift expected in Denver to testify in trial against former DJ

Music superstar Taylor Swift will take the stand to tell her side of the story in a legal battle with former disk-jockey in Denver.

Swift claims David Mueller, who went by “Jackson” on KYGO, lifted her skirt and grabbed her bottom when she agreed to pose for a photo with him at a meet-and-greet in June 2013. Mueller was fired two days later.

Mueller, who attended the event with his girlfriend, has adamantly denied the accusations.

In 2015, Mueller filed a lawsuit against Swift to recuperate his lost income, claiming she falsely accused him of groping her and pressured his employer to fire him. At the time, he was making $150,000 a year.

“The contention that Mr. Mueller lifted up Ms. Swift’s skirt and grabbed her bottom, while standing with his girlfriend, in front of Ms. Swift’s photographer and Ms. Swift’s highly trained security personnel, during a company sponsored, VIP, backstage meet-and-greet, is nonsense, particularly given that Ms. Swift’s skirt is in place and is not being lifted by Mr. Mueller’s hand in the photograph,” Mueller’s lawsuit stated.
