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 saw an article about how fans were excited that they were giving out leftover food from MSG... Here I'll just find the quote:

With more than 1,000 guests in attendance, there was naturally plenty of food. A Krispy Kreme truck carrying doughnuts was seen leaving the venue, along with boxes from Sweet Baby Ray's, the barbecue sauce brand, and Butterball (known for its turkey products).

She's a fucking billionaire, and her wedding food is all (likely free) product endorsement, brand name bullshit.

Zero class. Zero taste.

She's a billionaire, cost is entirely irrelevant. They could have had quite literally anything, and they chose Krispy Kreme and Butterball Turkey
