No, you have not died and gone to a frozen hell, you read the title of this blog correctly: How Taylor Swift has handled herself in this now infamous ass-grabbing case has garnered her some genuine respect from me. I know, I know.
While I usually fucking hate Taylor Swift and think she gets a lady boner from playing up her constant victim narrative, I think she’s handling this bullshit with some really unapologetic lady balls (tits?).
In case you’re not familiar, back in 2013, a radio DJ named David Mueller had a meet and greet with Taylor Swift and she alleged that while they were posing for pictures he reached his hand up her skirt and grabbed her ass. She reported it, like you would, and Mueller got fired from the radio station he worked at. Mueller then proceeded to sue Swift for millions of dollars for causing him to lose his career plus defamation of character. Swift hilariously counter-sued for $1, not because she wants the guys money, but because she wants everyone know he’s a total douche.
Swift was cross-examined this past week and a judge ultimately threw out Mueller’s suit, which is great! However, what’s even better are some of the Taylor Swift zingers during her cross-examination with Mueller’s lawyer.
McFarland, Mueller’s lawyer, noted that Swift was actually closer to Mueller’s girlfriend in the photo, to switch Swift responded: “Yes, she did not have her hand on my ass.”
McFarland then stated he was critical of Swift’s bodyguard not intervening if an assault had occurred, to which Swift responded: “I’m critical of your client sticking his hand under my skirt and grabbing my ass.”
McFarland tried to point out that, in the picture, the front of Swift’s skirt showed no sign of disruptment, to which Swifty zinged: “Because my ass is located in the back of my body.”
When McFarland suggested maybe it had been someone else who had grabbed her ass Swift laid down this truth bomb: “He had a handful of my ass. I know it was him.”
And finally, when McFarland tried to play the guilt card and asked how Swift felt that Mueller had lost his whole career, T-Swizzle dropped the best answer ever: “I’m not going to let you or your client make me feel in any way that this is my fault. Here we are years later, and I’m being blamed for the unfortunate events of his life that are the product of his decisions, not mine.”
Damn.
Kendrick Lamar level Damn.
I mean, I’m sure she’ll do something annoying af in like a week to make me eye roll myself into a coma, but right now I am feeling Taylor Swift as a human and we all know that’s a pretty big deal.

There’s really not a whole lot of ass to grab so I’m sure he didn’t grab much.

I really don’t believe he grabbed her ass. I think it was just another attention seeking way to get her name in the press and stir up controversy. She has been a master of this for years. She went to high school in the town in which I grew up and I had more than one encounter with her and her little posse early in her career. She is not the nice sweet little girl she pretends to be. Try accusing her of not being genuine and watch what happens or bring up the duet with Stevie Nicks at the Grammys in 2010, She is one spoiled kid whose dad’s investment firm basically bought that career…..and got her a 55% net profit on his initial investment. There is no telling what Toby Keith, Scott Borchetta, and Scott Swift himself made (many don’t know that he bought nearly a third of Big Machine Records in the beginning as “an investment” )…. I will tell you one thing that after some forty years of working as a musician, songwriter and engineer, those records reek of auto tuned comped vocals. Only a handful of people on the planet have sung that good.,,,,Trisha Yearwood, James Taylor, Art Garfunkel, Ella Fitzgerald, Glen Campbell. She has more money than she could ever spend. Maybe she should go away for awhile and get with some real songwriters. There are plenty that are not rap, hip hop or R & B in LA and Nashville. She needs to stop trying to be what she is not. Her ego has expanded exponentially. I don’t think she has ever heard of pay for play. I notice they are going to pull the new record. Good. It was crap. She needs to learn how to be a regular human being and be in a relationship that lasts more than 12 weeks with someone who isn’t famous……and stop hanging with all those women who have taught her to be so shallow she would be out of her depth in a parking lot puddle. 27 and still singing about teen angst……sounds like arrested development to me…….
