Apparently, having the most successful album of 2014, a major world tour and a bunch of No. 1 hits doesn’t excuse you from your civic duty.
Taylor Swift was selected to be a juror in Nashville’s Davidson County on Monday, according to the Tennessean, but unfortunately, she was unable to appear. She deferred her turn by a year, since she is currently in Australia as part of her 1989 World Tour.
The country-pop superstar was also included several times in the list of Grammy nominees this week — seven, to be exact — including one for Album of the Year. The nomination is clearly deserved, as the record was only the fifth album ever to stay in the Billboard 200 Top 10 for a full year. It sold more copies in its first week than any other album in the preceding 12 years.
Taylor’s 1989 World Tour has been a whirlwind of famous guests and sold-out shows, featuring country artists like Sam Hunt and Miranda Lambert. The tour wraps up this month in Australia, after which Taylor has said she’s planning on taking a much-needed break. -Jim
