"I'm sorry to anyone who ever wasn't believed." Taylor Swift delivered an impassioned call to victims on the anniversary of the verdict in her sexual assault case.
00:00I was in a courtroom in Denver, Colorado, and honestly, I was there for a sexual assault case, and this day, a year ago, was the day that the jury decided in my favor and said that they believed me.
00:30I just haven't really talked about it, and so I'm just not, um, composed at all.
00:43I guess I just think about all the people that weren't believed, and the people who haven't been believed, and the people who are afraid to speak up because they think they won't be believed.
01:06I just wanted to say that, um, I just wanted to say I'm sorry to anyone who ever wasn't believed, because I don't know what turn my life would have taken if people didn't believe me when I said that something had happened to me.
01:21So I guess I just wanted to say that we have so, so, so much further to go, and I'm so grateful to you guys for being there for me during what was a really, really horrible part of my life.
01:38So I just wanted to say that, and I wanted to thank you for everything.
01:41I know that, you know, when I meet you guys at meet and greets before and after the shows, you guys tell me about the hard times that I've gone through in your lives, and I really appreciate you trusting me with that information.
01:50And I wanted to say that I'm just, I'm so happy to see you and to have you and to know you through the ups and the downs of my life, so thank you.
