He added, "So, yeah, that’s my two cents about Tay Tay—complete racist. But she does make good music. There’s no doubting that. She’s just a s**tty person."

Who is TikToker Public Villian?

The TikToker's bio on the social media site reveals that he is 26, 6'2, a "Weeb, Liberal and Tattooed" and that his DMs are open. A Daily Dot article revealed that the social media user said that he "got the gig" through Global Security Group, a third party.

Furthermore, there was paperwork for those who were working before the event that specified certain dress codes and requirements - it read, "no beards, no religious headwear."

The video that the TikToker made has reportedly been seen 1.7 million times garnering over 150,000 likes since it was posted on Sunday. It turns out that the video wasn't enough to convince other TikTokers that Swift was racist, with one that had reportedly wrote, "As a Black Swiftie, you couldn't be more wrong."

But, Public Villian ended up posting a screenshot of a text message from what is being reported to be a Global Security Group representative asking him if he could work the event which was from May 18 to May 19, 2018. The TikTok is seen replying asking about the grooming specifications. He captioned his screenshot, "Here’s your proof. I found my text messages from my employer. You are welcome." Furthermore, he also posted another video that showed his security guard license, to prove his job line; it was issued by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services.

More hate followed as Swift's fans asked to see the contract to which the TikToker said, "I didn't think twice of saving that contract, but I guess I should have." He added, "Simply apply for any position with Taylor Swift. You're gonna find out right away... because it's on the application process, and whatever contracts you sign, she'll say, like, 'no religious headwear, no braids, no beards,' none of that stuff — typically attributes that are found within Black folks and people of color."

So, is it true?

As per the publication, the singer's team "categorically denied the TikToker's allegation to the Daily Dot" revealing that he was never hired as one of the pop star's personal security personnel.
