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 dated a swiftie a few years back.

One of the most clueless individuals I've ever met. Stanned both Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj then turned around and called herself a leftist.

Fans are fucking dumb.

Idolizing other humans is idiotic in general. You can enjoy someone's artistic output, but always be ready to say fuck them and their art if they turn out to be trash. They owe me nothing and I owe them nothing.

Weir Al's fans would like a word.

Ah you'll shake it off.

Haha, you joke but she actually managed to do some psychic damage to me. For no other reason than she accurately deduced what I was doing for entirely incorrect reasons.

She thought I was lying to her because I wanted to manipulate and control her. The reality is that I was much more attracted to her personality (the bits not mired in social media bullshit, like her ability to draw). What I was lying about was the sex being good. My god I have never been more disappointed in a woman, I am to this day convinced she's gay.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that.

Eh, I shouldn't have lied to her — we're both better off.

I'm old.

What does Stanned mean?

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A stan is a hardcore fan. Stanned is the verb of that expression

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

backed or vouched for, from a parasocial standpoint.

How old? Because, it's an Eminem reference. Not saying you can't be older than that reference but, it's been around awhile.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I've heard the song but never seen the name used as a verb until recently.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Been used for years and years my man. First time I recall it was all the lebronstans following the Lakers. Then I saw it like everywhere

[–] greatwhitebuffalo41@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago

Absolutely valid. I'm a little slow and only put the two concepts together like a year ago haha. I knew what the term meant, I had heard the song, it took me many years to put it together. Oops lol
