Taylor Swift and the DJ she accused of grabbing her bare rear end during a concert meet-and-greet are butting heads over the expert witnesses who can testify in the case.

Last week, both the “Shake It Off” singer and DJ David Mueller filed papers seeking to exclude expert witnesses for each other’s sides.

Swift’s legal team is seeking to exclude Mueller’s expert witness, economist Jeffrey B. Opp, from testifying about Mueller’s financial claims in his lawsuit against the singer. In court papers filed in federal court in Colorado on May 11, Swift’s team contends that Opp “lacks qualifications as an expert witness, his opinions are not based on facts, and his analysis contains multiple fundamental errors.
