Taylor Swift had a very good reason for missing the VMAs
Taylor didn't show up to the prestigious awards show
When Taylor Swift didn't show up to the MTV Video Music Awards at the weekend many believed it was due to her fall out with Kim and Kanye West, but it turns out the superstar was actually on jury duty.
Taylor was spotted in a court in Nashville, Tennessee by eagled eyed fans and she didn't hold back posing for photos and signing autographs.
One fan took to Twitter to write 'My mom just casually has jury duty with Taylor SWIFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' (sic) along with a snap of the pair. Twitter was also flooded with short videos and snaps of the singer as she appeared to be waiting around for court to resume.
Taylor has now been dismissed from her jury duty as the singer is currently going through her own ongoing case at the moment.
The 26-year-old may not have made it to the VMAs but Kanye West made sure the star was given a shout-out.
Taking to the stage to introduce his brand new video for his track ‘Fade’, Kanye name dropped Taylor by referring to her reaction to the argument the pair had over that 'Famous' video.
He said “Last week it was 22 people murdered in Chicago. People come up to me like, 'Man, that's right. Take down Taylor.' Bro, I love y'all. That's why I called her."

Despite winning three awards at the 2015 ceremony including the big one, 'Video Of The Year', poor Taylor was unsuccessful this year with Beyoncé scooping up eight awards.
