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.

I'm old.

What does Stanned mean?

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

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

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

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

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