UPDATE:
Taylor Swift scored a legal victory on Friday when a judge threw out a former DJ’s $3 million lawsuit against her for allegedly ruining his career. A jury will still decide if Taylor’s team and her mom are liable and they’ll also rule on her counter suit which claims the guy sexually assaulted her.

Taylor Swift is going on trial later this month. If you haven’t heard, a former radio DJ is suing her for defamation, after she claimed he grabbed her backside during a meet-and-greet back in 2013. The court “sealed” the photo but TMZ released it in November of 2016.
He lost his job but Taylor insists it happened and she’s filed a countersuit for sexual harassment. If she wins she’ll be donating proceeds to charity. The trial is expected to take about a week.
In any event, jury selection is happening now and naturally the lawyers opposing Taylor are trying to keep her biggest fans from stacking the jury. In an effort to expose their fandom they have a questionnaire for prospective jurors.
