Your 12-year-old niece isn’t the only one who would lie, cheat, and steal to see Taylor Swift. A 44-year-old man in Florida got arrested on Friday for posing as a security guard to get into a Taylor Swift show near Miami.
His name is Ivan Mariotti. Actual security guards called the police after they saw him down near the “floor/field” area. So, pretty good seats.
He was in a suit, with a badge around his neck. He told the cops he’d been hired by four women to escort them to the Eras Tour show. But he didn’t have a ticket.
Cops talked to the women, who confirmed they did pay him to DRIVE them there. But they didn’t hire him for security and didn’t know why he had a badge. He’s listed as a “rideshare driver” in the police report.
He’s facing charges for impersonating an officer, and interfering with a sporting or entertainment event.
(Here’s his mugshot.)
