Now obviously, Taylor Swift didn’t go unnoticed.
As such, she was required to take selfies with all her potential fellow jurors.
Seriously, there were so many selfies.
Imagine all the people she had to say hello to :|
People sniggered when she was asked what she did for a living.
“So, Miss Swift, what do you do?”
Oh, and in case you thought Taylor Swift could just rock up for jury duty like a normal person…
Well, you were wrong.
Journalist Hayley Mason reported that Taylor Swift was being considered as a juror for a trial that included charges of aggravated rape, aggravated kidnap and domestic assault.
Swift informed prosecutors that she was currently involved in a civil sexual assault case, but would be able to remain impartial.
(Taylor Swift is currently embroiled in a lawsuit involving a radio DJ whom she alleges groped her during a meet and greet in 2013.)
While Taylor progressed through the juror rounds…
“You are still in the running toward becoming America’s Next Top Juror.”
She was ultimately dismissed from the jury pool and allowed to go free.
Which is a shame because now we’ll never know if Taylor would have assembled a #JurySquad
Oh well, there’s always next time.
