Taylor was noticeably absent during this year’s MTV Video Music Awards; this was quickly explained after it came to light she was in Nashville being considered for jury duty. The incident left Swift “surprised, upset, offended, and alarmed”, according to legal documents.
Last year Mueller filed a lawsuit against Taylor, claiming he was sacked from a country radio station after being kicked out of a Taylor concert when her security team made the allegations against him.

Mueller is suing the star, claiming he was falsely accused and lost his job at Denver’s KYGO station as a result.
