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.

TLDR her dad works in finance, moved the family to Nashville, and supported her career at every step. So she very much got carried by her parents even if they didn’t buy her fame.
Given the Music Industry’s history of insidership and hand selecting artists for the highest level of promotion; I think the lack of “smoking guns” such as her parents mass buying her albums or paying off producers etc just shows how inorganic and corporatized popular music is.
The fact that she’s alt-country is the smoking gun. WWE is less fake than Country Music.
Her father bought a shareholding in the record label that then signed her.
Ah there it is.
If country music is all fake, then explain this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1hnBv12-uk

Now that’s some quality writing right there!
