Vance Joy has praised the singer for the bravery she displayed during her recent groping trial against DJ David Mueller. 'When people stand up for what's right it makes a huge impact on the world,' the 30-year-old gushed, referring to the pop princess in an interview this week with The Fix. In August 2017, a New York jury ruled in favour of Taylor, who accused David Mueller of groping her during a meet-and-greet photo session in June 2013 at the Pepsi Center.

The Blank Space hitmaker was awarded a symbolic $1 last August (17) after a jury found disgraced radio host David Mueller guilty of assaulting her during a 2013 meet-and-greet backstage at a concert in Denver, Colorado.
After the verdict was delivered at the end of the week-long trial, Taylor acknowledged how privileged she was to be able to cover the "enormous cost" of pursuing legal action, and vowed to use the experience to "help those whose voices should also be heard".
"I will be making donations in the near future to multiple organizations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves," she continued in her statement.
On Thursday (05Apr18), officials at RAINN, one of the non-profits she had helped, publicly expressed their gratitude for her financial support via Twitter. They did not disclose how much the pop superstar had handed over, but noted the cheque's arrival coincides with April (18) being Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM).
"Thank you @taylorswift13 for always standing with survivors," reads the tweet. "Your generous donation this week during #SAAPM ensures that survivors and their loved ones get the help they need and deserve."
