Taylor Swift resurfaces - on jury duty!

The world was waiting with baited breath to see if Taylor Swift would turn up at the MTV VMAs yesterday.

Alas though, she didn’t make it. But it turns out she had one really good reason - she’s been on jury duty.

Yep, Tay has finally surfaced in court in Nashville, Tennessee, where she was due to sit on the jury in a rape and kidnap case.

But according to TMZ.com, the judge dismissed her after she admitted she probably wouldn’t be unbiased, given her current civil case against a DJ she claims fondled her backstage in June 2013.

Taylor alleges that Colorado DJ David Mueller groped her bottom as they took a picture together backstage at the Denver Pepsi Centre. He tried to sue the star when he lost his job over her claims, but she is now counter-suing.

And because of that, she was not selected for the jury in the aggravated rape and kidnapping case that involved “a man who allegedly penetrated a woman with a broom handle after holding her at bay.”

Meanwhile, Taylor seemed at ease with her would-have-been fellow jurors, signing autographs and posing for selfies.

She also kept her look simple, shunning make-up and opting for a smart black outfit.

Very grown up Tay!
