Fans of Taylor Swift have been shocked after it emerged that a contractor for the controversial Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) was in attendance at her wedding.

...

It appears that Steven J. Demetriou, the Executive Chair of a company called Amentum Services was also among the crowd gathered to see the happy couple say ‘I do.’

Amentum Services is currently the sole contractor for ICE’s Camp East Montana, a detention centre in El Paso.

The artist has faced swift backlash for her choice of guests, including online commenters who have shared their dismay on social media.

I don't begrudge anyone their love of Taylor Swift either. I just think that it's mostly because that's what was fed to them rather than because of any genius she may have.

I, also an older man, don't spend much time disliking pop culture, whether it be Talylor Swift or 6-7, neither of which matter much to me despite having a 9 year old that said it pretty constantly last year. I save most of my hate for the fascists ruining our world.
