Buzz of the Day: The Real Reason Why Taylor Swift Wasn’t at the VMA’s

Real Reason Why Taylor Swift Wasn’t at the VMA’s

No, it wasn’t because she didn’t get any nomination or because her sworn enemy, Kanye West was there. The real reason is kinda boring, really.

Taylor Swift was unable to attend this year's MTV Music Video Awards because she had to go to court! .... for jury duty.

In the American legal system, you can get summoned for jury duty anytime. You and a dozen or more people are randomly selected to be part of a jury who will look at facts and return a verdict to a judge during criminal trials.

Unfortunately for Taylor Swift, it was her time to serve her duties, thus missing out the chance to attend the VMA’s.


The Wildest Dreams songstress missed out on any nominations this year and some speculated that she would have avoided the ceremony anyway because of feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian over the lyrics of rapper’s song Famous.

As TMZ reports, Swift was at a jury selection meeting for a criminal case in Tennessee on Monday morning. The star is one of 30 potential jurors for a criminal sexual assault case.
