Performer Taylor Swift is taking security measures to the next level. The Look What You Made Me Do hitmaker is ensuring cameras are focused on her a** at every meet-and-greet, after she was sexually assaulted in 2013.
The 29-year-old reportedly discussed the surveillance cameras surrounding her after she was groped on the butt by DJ David Mueller during a photocall at the Pepsi Center in Colorado.
Taytay successfully sued Mueller for a symbolic $1 two months before the #MeToo movement took off.
As a result, Taylor now has cameras deliberately trained on her a**.
She explained: “I’m really lucky that it hadn’t happened to me before. But that was one of the reasons it was so traumati-
sing. I just didn’t know that could happen. It was really brazen, in front of seven people.
“If something happens again, we can prove it with video footage from every angle.”
During the August 2017 countersuit against the DJ, an eight-member jury sided with Taylor.
Speaking of the court case, she continued: “You’re supposed to behave yourself in court and say ‘rear end’. The other lawyer was saying, ‘When did he touch your backside?’ And I was like, ‘A**! Call it what it is!”
It took the jury four hours to deliberate, after which the DJ had to pay Taylor $1 in damages.
She testified that a “drunk” Mueller had groped her bum and held on.
“He lifted my skirt and grabbed my bare ass cheek,”she told the jury.

She also said she doesn’t blame an ex-bodyguard who witnessed the assault for not stopping Mueller, but that she’s “critical of ...(Mueller) for sticking his hand under my skirt and grabbing my ass”.
She said that she doesn’t have any feelings about Mueller as a person: “I don’t know him, but what he did was despicable.”
