At a Taylor Swift ‘Eras Tour’ stop in Minnesota a few weeks ago, security guard Calvin Denker went viral after he was singing along to “Cruel Summer.” However, he has now shared that he’s since been fired. In a new TikTok video, he said, “After night one, I was realizing how close Taylor Swift was getting to me, so I really wanted to get a photo to document it. So I handed down these little pieces of paper that said I wasn’t allowed to have my phone out, but if Taylor Swift comes right behind me, please take a photo of me and text it to my number. And I handed this out to a couple of people in the front row for night two and they were really kind and really sweet about it.”
He continued, “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.” He says he holds “no grudges” about being fired. Do you think he should have been fired?
