Los Angeles (AFP) - Pop superstar Taylor Swift (pic) was in court on Monday as the trial began in a case pitting her against a DJ accused of groping her at an event. Eight jurors were selected Monday with Swift looking on in the courtroom, a court employee confirmed to AFP. Swift says radio DJ David Mueller grabbed her buttock during a visit backstage at the Pepsi Center in Denver in June 2013 before a concert. Mueller was sacked two days after the allegations by his local employer, radio station KYGO. Mueller accuses Swift's aides of calling the radio station to demand his firing the day after the encounter, according to court documents.
