Calvin Denker gave fans an unfortunate update after he went viral for singing along to Swift during her 'Eras Tour' stop in Minneapolis.

A security guard who went viral for singing to Taylor Swift during her Eras Tour stop in Minneapolis posted a follow-up TikTok revealing that he was fired from the venue.

Calvin Denker melted the hearts of Swifties after concertgoers captured him soulfully singing along to the Grammy winner while performing his duties.


Sadly, however, the security company BEST wasn't too entertained by their employee.

Denker shared that the issue wasn't that he was singing along during the concert but that he was passing notes to nearby fans asking them to take photos when T-Swift was in the background.

However, Denker argued in his video that all he was doing was asking for pictures, which he states is not against company policy as he wasn't taking the photos himself.

“The HR woman who called me wasn’t able to articulate what exactly I did wrong because I didn’t do anything beyond asking for photos."
“I never took my own phone out, and above all else I made sure that Taylor Swift was safe, and all the fans had a good time."

Denker also added that he holds "no grudges" against the company but just wanted to update his followers.

You can watch his explanation, below.

And several also hoped that the "Lavender Haze" singer would take notice.

GOP Senator Faces MAGA Backlash Over Plan To Sell Millions Of Acres Of Public Land

Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee is facing harsh criticism—including from Team MAGA—over his proposal to sell off millions of acres of public land in the American West owned by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service to supposedly create more affordable housing.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.

TikToker @cassdamm, who previously went viral for sharing the unhinged, five-page letter her 15-year-old son's principal sent, complaining about him "wandering the halls" and "being truant" for buying a drink on his way back to class, is openly celebrating the death of her father, but it's not for the reason you'd think.
