Taylor Swift name dropped during Gwyneth Paltrow's courtroom drama

Taylor Swift has now been mentioned during Gwyneth Paltrow's courtroom drama.

The actress has been appearing in court over a ski collision that happened back in 2016. Terry Sanderson claims Paltrow slammed into him in a “full body hit” while skiing at the Deer Valley resort in Utah, leaving him with permanent injuries, and is seeking $300,000, but Paltrow says he is the one that crashed into her, and is countersuing for $1.

In the latest instalment of the trial, Paltrow was questioned over her relationship with Taylor Swift, who famously was seeking $1 in 2017 after winning a groping trial against former radio host David Mueller, which she was awarded. Sanderson’s attorney Kristin VanOrman asked Paltrow if she got the idea to seek a symbolic $1 in damages from Swift.

In the trail, Paltrow said she was not good friends with Taylor Swift, after being asked if she got the idea for the $1 damages from her. She said: "I would not say we are good friends, we are friendly; I’ve taken my kids to one of her concerts before but we don’t talk very often."

VanOrman said: "You’ve never given Ms Swift personal, intimate gifts for Christmas", which Paltrow did not get a chance to answer because her lawyer questioned the relevancy of the question, which Judge Kent Holmberg sustained.

The question seems to reference the 2021 Goop holiday gift guide in which Paltrow showed the gifts she was giving to her famous friends that year. The ad for Paltrow’s lifestyle brand showed her choosing between a red scarf and a vibrator, before putting the vibrator in a bag marked “Taylor Swift”.
