Taylor Swift is currently suing David Mueller for allegedly grabbing her ass in 2013. In general, I would usually find this entirely unremarkable. But in this case, I love the courtroom sketches of Swift we’ve been treated to.
I mean, look at that, that isn’t Taylor Swift, it’s a Bob Montana drawing of Betty Cooper. Okay, I actually feel bad having a go at the sketch artist. Their job is to show us roughly what went on in the courtroom in a quick sketch, not to be a PR person for Tay Tay. Plus after what the sketch artist in the Martin Shkreli trial did, the whole profession gets a lifetime pass from me.
Twitter users, as usual, had a lot to say about the sketches.
So this one time, at Taylor Swift's suing a radio dj trial, the artist sketch of Taylor Swift was totally on point… https://t.co/J3z4bQMgKx

Swift is countersuing Mueller for $1 to make a statement, while Mueller’s original suit alleges that Swift lied about him groping her ass and that said alleged lie cost him his job as a radio DJ. I just hope the trial turns out better for Swift than these sketches of her did.
