Meet Davis Perrigo, accountant by profession but Swiftie by passion
What's the story
If there were a meter to gauge which celebrity has the most devoted fandom, Taylor Swift would possibly rank high on the list. She enjoys a massive global following, and it's not uncommon for fans to go to unimaginable lengths to catch her glimpse. One such fan is Davis Perrigo, who worked as a security guard at her concert just to see her live!
Incident
Perrigo attended concert at Nissan Stadium in Nashville
Swift is currently on her nationwide The Eras Tour in the US and has been breaking records one after the other with humungous ticket sales at each event. One such venue was Nashville's Nissan Stadium. A Nashville resident, Perrigo, saw this as the perfect opportunity to witness her up close, and despite being an accountant, applied for a security guard job for the concert.
Process
Couldn't secure tickets, so devised interesting plan
As per News Channel 5, Perrigo decided to apply as a guard as he couldn't secure tickets as a regular fan. So, being a hardcore Swiftie, this was perhaps one of his few chances to be in the exact location as the Anti-Hero singer. Thus, he applied for the job, got through, and enjoyed the concert, the videos of which have been going viral.
