In shocking news surrounding Taylor Swift, the singer has been accused of being discriminatory when it comes to how her employees have to present themselves. This bombshell statement comes from TikToker @public_villain who has over 4,600 followers.
He is heard saying, "So fun fact: I actually did security for Taylor Swift. She hates Black people, like, without a doubt. All of her employees are required to have no dreads; no headwear, even for religious purposes; no braids; no beards, even if they’re lined up and everything." 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. He had also revealed that the event he had aided in providing security for had taken place at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. 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 TikToker also said that his boss at the company didn't make them 'do none of this shit', but the pop singer never hired the company again.
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.
