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.

People whose only exposure to her music is the radio hits and people who were never a teenage girl are the ones complaining about her music. If you don't get it, that's fine. Its not for you. It's not for me.

Lady Gaga has done the same thing yet gets a fraction of the hate. Radio bangers fund the real artist.

People whose only exposure to American for-profit concentration camps from FOX news and people who never had to a gun pointed at them because of the color of their skin are the ones defending inviting a modern day slaver to a wedding.

If you don't get it, that's on you.

She could be the best artist in the world but if she hangs out some of the worst human being in the world it shouldn't matter.
