If you said something like "I wouldn't date her, though she wouldn't date me either" I would understand but your usage seems retarded. Show me the grammatical rule.
"Her though" would imply that Taylor Swift owns "though". The comma separates them, and you would in fact naturally add a faint pause in-between "her" and "though". At the very least you would say "though" with a different intonation than the rest of the sentence.
