The Real Reason Taylor Swift Wasn’t At The VMAs Has Been Revealed

Okay so I’m going to start out by saying no one knows for certain why Taylor wasn’t at this year’s VMAs, but my theory seems top of the list.

It could have been because of the whole Kanye thing, sure, but I’m like 99% certain that she skipped it because her civil duty and being part of a jury.

Seriously, celebs are basically just regular people - they even do jury duty.

So, this is probably why she wasn’t at the VMAs, because she had to be in the court bright and early Monday morning. And the court was in Nashville, and the show was in Manhattan. I’ve nailed this, guys.

But could you imagine being the criminal, looking to the jury and seeing T. Swift?
