Taylor Swift’s Red Carpet Style EvolutionWhen Mueller took the stand the day before, he claimed he touched Swift near her rib cage, not on her butt. “The reason I’m here is because I want to clear my name first and foremost,” he told the court. “It’s the only chance I have of working in radio again.”
