#36: $1 in Damages

In a bold move against a DJ who allegedly assaulted her during a 2013 incident, Taylor Swift filed a countersuit, seeking a symbolic $1 in damages—and emerged victorious. This legal victory became a powerful symbol of empowerment, echoed in Swift’s subsequent music.

Swift included a subtle nod to the case with a $1 bill Easter egg in her song “Look What You Made Me Do.” For fans, this moment served as a rallying cry, inspiring them to speak out about their own experiences and stand up against injustice.
