On Thursday (Aug. 10) Taylor Swift<\/a> gave a fearless testimony as she took the witness stand in her lawsuit against radio DJ David Mueller, who allegedly touched her without permission.<\/p>\n

Swift took a powerful stance, explaining that she will not stand for anyone treating her inappropriately, making comments<\/a> like "I am not going to allow you or your client to make me feel this is any way my fault, because it isn’t" — and a number of celebrities and musicians, including Lena Dunham and Nelly Furtado<\/a>, have come to her aid in offering support.<\/p>\n\n

Fellow artist Furtado was also impressed to hear the 1989<\/em> artist speak out, and even shared she relates to Swift's experience. Furtado said, “Been in several meet n' greets where radio staff attempt to cross lines. Love @taylorswift13<\/a> for fighting 4 women's safety in the workplace.”<\/p>\n

Proud of @taylorswift13<\/a> for her fierce & cutting testimony & her refusal to settle for being treated like property. Her example is powerful.<\/p>\n
