Taylor Swift fans take their dedication to the singer seriously, so much so that one Swiftie recently became an arena security guard just to watch her take the stage.
Davis Perrigo, an accountant from Nashville, Tenn., revealed to News Channel 5 Nashville on Thursday that he took the security job at Nissan Stadium after failing to get a ticket to Swift’s Eras Tour.
Perrigo recently went viral on TikTok for singing her heart out at work. In a clip that has already racked up more than 7 million views, he can be seen passionately singing Swift’s 2012 breakup song “I Knew You Were Trouble.”
Several other clips capturing Perrigo’s singing have also circulated online. Some Swift fans gushed over the security guard’s look, even comparing him to People’s Sexiest Man Alive alum Ryan Reynolds.
“Someone find it WILL BE MY HUSBAND I’M SO DYING TO FLY TO NASHVILLE IDC,” one person commented.
Another wrote: “Omg it takes A LOT to get my attention away from Taylor Swift but I kept watching it thinking Ryan [Reynolds]?”
“OK BUT THIS MAN IS SINGLE!!,” exclaimed another TikTok user.
Perrigo, who told News Channel 5 he is married, joked that his wife teased him about his “passion” to sing along with the Grammy-winning singer.
“My wife jokes that I sing Taylor Swift songs with such passion for someone she’s never broken up with,” he said.
While his co-stars enjoyed watching Perrigo show off his singing chops, he shared that his antics landed him in hot water with the star’s security staff.
“I was actually reprimanded by Taylor’s security, saying that I was going too hard and that I needed to go down a level,” he added.
Nissan Stadium did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
Swift kicked off her hugely successful Eras Tour in March, which will wrap up in August in Los Angeles.
