Taylor Swift has given her testimony in her sexual assault trial.

The singer is being sued by radio host David Mueller for $3 million for lost earnings and repetitional damage over claims that he grabbed her bum at a meet-and-greet in 2013.

Swift is counter-sueing, alleging sexual assault.

After four days of the trial, she’s taken to the stand in the past hour to give her account of what happened, reports Bustle.

“It was a definite grab. A very long grab,” she told the court in Denver, Colorado.

“I don’t think it would be wise to estimate time in court, but I know it was long enough for me to be completely sure it was intentional …

“He stayed latched on to my bare ass cheek … I felt him grab onto my ass cheek underneath my skirt.

“The first couple of milliseconds I thought it must be a mistake, so I moved to the side very quickly so that his side would be removed from my ass cheek, but it didn’t let go.”

Swift’s mother testified yesterday and spoke of the moments after the alleged incident, according to the BBC.

“I went into the dressing room and I saw her face,” said Andrea Swift.

“I could see that there was something horribly wrong.

“She said, ‘Mom, a guy just grabbed my ass,’. I wanted to vomit and cry at the same time.”

We’ll bring you more on the trial as it comes in.
