Nowadays, the easiest way of going viral is by attending concerts of Taylor Swift. Or securing a job as her security guard will also be enough to get the limelight. Since this is what happened with Calvin Denker, who joined the team to keep the crowd in control when the pop icon performs on stage. This man went viral on social media a couple of months back for singing along to Swift’s ‘Cruel Summer’ during an Eras Tour concert. But it appears he will not get these moments in the future with her anymore because his hiring company has fired him.

Calvin Denker recently posted a new TikTok speaking about how he lost his position at Eras Tour. In June, he landed with the job of security guard for Taylor Swift. But only a few days after his brief moment with the singer, he got axed. In his defence, the guard stated in the video that he only wanted to take a picture with her.

“So I handed out these little pieces of paper that said I wasn’t allowed to have my phone out,” revealed Denker. He wrote his number on the paper so fans could send him pictures if the Grammy winner came behind her. The company had no issue with him taking pictures with her, but including the crowd in it was the wrong move.
