Mueller, who had an expert calculate his loss of up to $US3 million in future earnings, told GMA he had filed the lawsuit against Swift two years ago not for financial gain but to procure a note from her to help his applications at future jobs.

"I asked for something in writing which stated that there was a misunderstanding. And I can take that and possibly convince someone at a radio station to hire me," Mueller said.

Mueller said he may file an appeal.

After the verdict, Swift released a statement saying she hoped to "help those whose voices should also be heard" and would make donations to organisations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves. She has not spoken publicly since.

Swift received support from stars including singer Kesha, who has been involved in three-year legal battle against a music producer she accused of rape and emotional abuse.

Kesha tweeted that she supported Swift and admired her "strength and fearlessness."
