Taylor Swift felt ‘trolled’ by groper

Taylor Swift was "trolled" by the DJ who groped her when he paid her court-ordered damages.
David Mueller previously sued the ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ hitmaker for claiming she had falsely accused him of touching her during a meet-and-greet, but she countersued and a federal jury eventually found in the 29-year-old pop star’s favour and the disgraced presenter was ordered her to pay a symbolic amount of $1.
The broadcaster eventually paid up with a Sacagawea coin, which Taylor took as a deliberate slight on his part.
She told the new issue of America’s Vogue magazine: "He was trolling me, implying that I was self-righteous and hell-bent on angry, vengeful feminism. That’s what I’m inferring from him giving me a Sacagawea coin.
"Hey, maybe he was trying to do it in honour of a powerful Native American woman. I didn’t ask.
"[Where is the coin now?] My lawyer has it."
The ‘ME!’ singer shot to fame when she was just a teenager and admitted she didn’t "understand" sexism until several years into her career when she "became a woman".
She said: "I think about this a lot.
"When I was a teenager, I would hear people talk about sexism in the music industry, and I’d be like, I don’t see it. I don’t understand.
"Then I realised that was because I was a kid. Men in the industry saw me as a kid. I was a lanky, scrawny, overexcited young girl who reminded them more of their little niece or their daughter than a successful woman in business or a colleague. The second I became a woman, in people’s perception, was when I started seeing it.
"It’s fine to infantilise a girl’s success and say, ‘How cute that she’s having some hit songs. How cute that she’s writing songs.’ But the second it becomes formidable? As soon as I started playing stadiums – when I started to look like a woman – that wasn’t as cool anymore.
"It was when I started to have songs from ‘Red’ come out and cross over, like ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ and ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.’ "
Mueller previously explained he planned to send the damages in the form of a Sacagawea coin as it features a prominent Native American Woman in a jab at the ‘Blank Space’ singer, who previously hailed her court victory a win for all women.
He said: "I mean, If this is all about women’s rights…It’s a little poke at them, a little bit.
"I mean, I think they made this into a publicity stunt, and this is my life."
