Last night (Aug. 14) marked the one year anniversary of Taylor Swift’s sexual assault trial -- a bittersweet victory for the singer when she was awarded justice for her personal #MeToo fight.
At her sold-out Reputation Tour stop in Tampa, Fla. on Tuesday night, Swift took a moment to give an emotional speech about the day she was believed by the jury.
“This exact day a year ago, I was not playing a sold out stadium in Tampa. I was in a courtroom in Denver, Colorado. This day a year ago was the day that the jury sided in my favor and said that they believed me,” the 28-year-old told fans. “I just think about all the people that weren't believed, and the people who haven't been believed, or the people who are afraid to speak up because they think they won't be believed.”
