When the word "victory" comes to mind, so do celebrations and tears of joy.
In the case of Taylor Swift's legal victory over former radio DJ David Mueller in Denver, Colorado, on Monday, the win wasn't quite so sweet. Even as Swift and her mother, Andrea, dissolved into tears in the courtroom, only they can say whether it was the product of grief, joy, relief, release or something in between.
The heart-wrenching moment was four years in the making, stemming from a 2013 meet-and-greet gone awry. On Monday, a silent, stone-faced Mueller was found liable of assault and battery on the then-23-year-old pop star. Her reward: $1 and vindication.
In the week since I began covering this trial, I've heard a lot of water cooler opinions from friends, acquaintances and strangers. Much of that commentary was positive, from praising Swift for her setting an example, to finding humor in her decision to sue for one measly dollar...

Witnesses are backing up Taylor Swift‘s claims that a former Denver deejay touched her inappropriately during a 2013 meet-and-greet.
As part of headline-making sexual assault trial against David Mueller, Swift’s bodyguard and photographer took the stand Thursday and Friday, testifying that they saw Mueller grab the singer’s butt during the event at the Pepsi Center.
“I saw it happen,” Swift’s backstage photographer, Stephanie Simbeck, testified on Thursday, according to Buzzfeed News. “I saw his hand grab her ass.”
Simbeck said at first she thought Swift had tripped because of the way she was standing away from Mueller.
