NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Nashville judge dismissed pop star Taylor Swift as a potential juror in an aggravated rape and kidnapping case on Monday, Davidson County District Attorney General's Office spokesman Ken Whitehouse said.

"She asked to be left off out of concern for an upcoming trial in Denver where she was — she used the term 'groped' — by a fan at a meet-and-greet," Whitehouse said.

Swift told the judge she would be more than willing to serve on a jury in any other type of case, he said.

In the Denver case, Swift filed a counterclaim last year after a former radio host sued her.

David Mueller claimed he lost his job after a member of Swift's security team falsely accused him of grabbing the singer's buttocks backstage during a 2013 photo session. Muller claimed the person who assaulted Swift was actually one of his superiors.

Swift's counterclaim states, "Ms. Swift knows exactly who committed the assault."

Before Swift was dismissed from the jury pool on Monday, she took time to chat and take selfies with other potential jurors.

Bryan Merville, who owns a technology infrastructure company, said he took a photo with Swift for his daughters, who are huge fans. He said he was one of about 140 people waiting in a holding area Monday morning before they were called to separate courtrooms. About 15-20 asked Swift for a photo or autograph.

"She's about as famous as they come, but she couldn't have been nicer," Merville said. "She took the time to talk to every person who asked her for a picture."

Queen of Biased Jurors and being nice!

And this is probably just an other way of turning this into a PR stunt to rehabilate her image ...

A lot of celebrity find ways no avoid this. Literally how many of them have you seen actually participate in this?

Also, there are a lot of people actually saying the opposite : example :

It would actually be illegal of her to NOT tell them that she is a part of something similar at the moment. It makes it not possible for her to be impartial which is the whole point of jury duty.

Like if she hadn't mentioned that she is going through some trial situation right now and still have her opinion on this trial and the law found out, she could be in big trouble.

1. Her going to jury duty is oligatory, therefore not for PR.
2. She has to mention that she cannot be impartial, it would be illegal for her not to say so. She's not "the victim" and she didn't try to "bring the attention to her" it's literally the law to be 100% honest and the law would have found out if she had lied about being in the middle of a trial right now.

True.

Who would actually want to go to court for PR purposes? She could pick a million other things to do other then cramping into a small room all day with strangers, waiting to see if make the jury. I have done it, it is not a fun day. People are just mad that folks went wild and wanted autographs and pictures. I mean, she is supposed to be over and all that.

When will people who are old enough stop being disrespectful when it's absolutely not necessary?
