After four hours of deliberation, a jury reached a verdict regarding Taylor Swift's groping trial on Monday, Aug. 14. As TMZ reported, the jury ruled in favor of Swift in the countersuit against David Mueller, a former radio DJ who she alleged reached up her dress during a meet-and-greet in 2013. Given the subject matter of this case, it shouldn't come as a surprise that women are celebrating Swift's victory on Twitter. People are fired up about this news, and we've got the tweets to prove it.

After the verdict was announced, the "Bad Blood" singer's rep released the following statement to Bustle:

"I want to thank Judge William J. Martinez and the jury for their careful consideration, my attorneys Doug Baldridge, Danielle Foley, Jay Schaudies and Katie Wright for fighting for me and anyone who feels silenced by a sexual assault, and especially anyone who offered their support throughout this four-year ordeal and two-year long trial process.
I acknowledge the privilege that I benefit from in life, in society and in my ability to shoulder the enormous cost of defending myself in a trial like this. My hope is to help those whose voices should also be heard. Therefore, I will be making donations in the near future to multiple organizations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves."
