You can go to the Taylor Swift trial in Denver, but you’ll need to follow some rules
No, you can’t wear a Taylor Swift shirt at the pop star’s civil trial next week. And you should leave your phone at home, too.
Swift is set to appear in court next week as her lawyers battle with those of a former Denver radio host who is suing the singer, alleging that he was wrongly fired and banned from future Swift concerts on false claims that he groped the singer during a meet-and-greet before her 2013 concert at the Pepsi Center. Swift is countersuing the host, David Mueller, claiming assault and battery.
The case has already drawn outsized attention and court officials are expecting large crowds of people, each elbowing to get a spot inside the small hearing room. But U.S. District Court clerk Jeffrey Colwell was clear during a media briefing on Thursday: This is a federal court case, not a concert, and people are expected to behave accordingly.
Therefore, the court has a series of rules, some typical and others set specifically for this trial.
