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.

Karoline Leavitt Gives Bonkers Excuse After Trump Is Spotted With Massive Bruise On His Left Hand

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was called out after she gave a dubious excuse for what happened to President Donald Trump after he was spotted at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday with a large bruise on his left hand.

Last year, rumors swirled that Trump was on his deathbed after he wasn't seen for several days and the White House cancelled his public appearances, a development that fueled speculation in large part because of Trump's recent health problems, which include a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and sightings of a harsh bruise on his right hand.
