A tearful Taylor Swift marks anniversary of sexual assault trial verdict

While onstage in Tampa, Fla., on Tuesday night, Taylor Swift was close to tears as she reflected on where she was a year ago. “A year ago I was not playing in a stadium in Tampa; I was in a courtroom in Denver, Colo.,” Swift began, referring to the 2017 trial in which a Denver jury ruled that former radio host Davide Mueller assaulted and battered the singer when he grabbed Swift’s backside at a meet-and-greet photo session in June 2013. “This is the day the jury sided in my favor and said that they believed me.”
