Taylor Swift’s trial against alleged butt-groper David Mueller began today, and Swift herself is expected to testify. But fans hoping to be picked to sit on the jury will probably be disappointed—a questionnaire circulated among potential jurors specifically seeks to weed out Swift devotees.
The questionnaire asks whether prospects have:
- Listened to Taylor on the radio.
- Watched a Taylor video.
- Read a blog about her.
- Bought a Taylor Swift album.
- “Intentionally listened to Taylor Swift through an online service.”
- Gone to a Taylor Swift concert.
Wow, what red-blooded American will be left at the end of this? Is it even possible to avoid reading a T. Swift blog, or listening to her on the radio? And what about the Ryan Adams covers, do those count? And how thorough will the vetting be—seems like these are all pretty easy to lie about, not that I am suggesting anyone do that.
In the end, this jury is going to be filled with men, which does not strike me as good or fair.
