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.

        They are a couple and they both share the responsibility of how their wedding went. Your right to point out Travis’ part in this but ultimately she isn’t helpless and is willing to associate herself with these people too.

        Gee, maybe she should have pushed back on that invite. Or maybe they could have had their wedding in private rather than making it a spectacle that shut down a chunk of Manhattan, where the guest list would be a little less open to critique.

        I can believe that Taylor is a trash person. Lots of rich people are. I still don’t understand the seething hatred some people have for her, though. (I mean that I don’t understand it if I forget about misogyny.)

          What really seems hypocritical to me is a lot of the ones here are all “seize the means of production” but shit on her, after she re-recorded her entire catalog to earn the money to buy back the rights to her own original work from the producers who were exploiting her. Badassery without violence threatens their manhood I guess.

          Yes she’s self-interested, even self-centered. But they act as if she’s in the Evil Billionaire Top Ten when there’s mere millionaires who are more evil than her.

          I didn’t, but I gave my best friend a plus-one invitation. He chose not to bring anyone but if he’d brought his mom I wouldn’t have known until she arrived.
