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.

U.S. UFC Star Threatens Canada For Booing Anthem—Then Gets His A** Handed To Him

UFC fighter Charles Radtke was widely mocked online after talking trash about Canada before his bout with Canadian fighter Mike Malott—only to be soundly defeated by Malott in the second round.

Radtke leaned into the role of the villain leading up to the fight, invoking President Donald Trump’s talk of annexing Canada as the “51st state” and saying he was seeking revenge for Canadian hockey fans recently booing the U.S. national anthem.

High School Group Asks MAGA Rep. Why Trump Looks 'So Orange'—And His Answer Is Awkward AF

Things sure got awkward for Georgia Republican Representative Brian Jack after a group of students asked him during a Q&A session why President Donald Trump is "so orange."

People can only speculate what brand of makeup or bronzer Trump uses on a daily basis but there's a reason why he's been nicknamed "the orange man," "Agent Orange," and even "Mango Mussolini"—the color of his face is really, really hard to miss given he's photographed all the time.

Transportation Secretary Slammed After Admitting He Made A Telling Switch To Wife's Recent Flight

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was criticized after admitting in a recent audio clip that he'd just switched his wife's Newark Liberty International Airport flight to one out of LaGuardia Airport—despite previously claiming his family flies out of Newark Airport "all the time."

Duffy’s remarks came as staffing shortages caused major flight disruptions at Newark on Monday, with the F.A.A. forced to delay incoming flights from across the continental U.S. and parts of Canada. According to an online advisory, delays averaged over 1 hour and 40 minutes and in some cases stretched to nearly seven hours.
