Taylor Swift breaks down at groping trial

Taylor Swift has broken down in tears as lawyers presented their closing arguments on the last day of her groping trial.

Last week a Denver judge dismissed the case brought against Taylor by former radio host, David Mueller, who was seeking $3 million in damages after claiming he lost his job at KYGO radio after Taylor's security team accused him of groping her bottom during a meet-and-greet in June of 2013.

Witnesses at the trail say Swift grabbed her mother's hand and began to cry after the attorney for Mueller held up a photo of her alleged assault and asked the jury whether his client woud have any reason to asault the star.

"I don’t know what kind of person grabs or gropes a music superstar, but it’s not that guy,” Mueller's lawyer told the court.

The lawyer repeatedly said the singer was wrong in her assertion that Mueller had stuck his hand under her skirt and "grabbed her bare ass cheek" as the pair posed for a photo.

The singer’s mother, Andrea Swift, had tears in her eyes during the session as she handed her daughter tissues.

Swift's own lawyer gave a powerful statement to the jury: "By returning a verdict on Ms. Swift's counterclaim for a single symbolic dollar, the value of which is immeasurable to all women in this situation... You will tell every woman... that no means no'.

Meanwhile fellow singer Kesha has Tweeted a powerful message in support of Swift: "@taylorswift13 i support you always, and especially right now and admire your strength and fearlessness. truth is always the answer (sic)."

Swift previously supported Kesha in her own sexual assault case, by donating $250,000 to the star to finance her legal battle against producer Dr. Luke, who she claimed "sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally" abused her.
