Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that X community notes react to claims from Eran Swisa and Israeli official country account report on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour bodyguard returned home to fight for his country.
Twitter community notes wrote: “Further, Eran is the name of the journalist who reported that the bodyguard returned to Israel, not the bodyguard. This bodyguard was hired by the stadium and not part of Taylor’s own team.”
Variety has confirmed that the security guard, who wishes to keep his name anonymous, made the choice to leave the United States to join the IDF reserves as he saw the deadly attacks by Hamas on Israeli citizens.
Eran Swisa, an Israeli journalist from “Israel Today,” broke the news that the security guard who worked with Swift had left America to fight in the IDF. Swisa tells Variety that he was born at a Kibbutz in Israel but had been working in America.
It is not clear whether the security guard was employed by Swift or the tour stadium, or how closely he worked with the star. Swift’s rep did not respond to Variety‘s request for comment.
A third said: ‘Bro was looking at everyone in the crowd like…’
‘Hell yes! I’d want exactly that in a bodyguard,’ one fan tweeted.
On Friday, Taylor released her re-recorded album, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), and already it’s making record-breaking sales.
According to Billboard, initial reports state that the 22-track anthology has already earned more than 575,000 equivalent album units in the United States.
Out of that number, 400,000 were album sales — with 225,000 of those being vinyl copies — and mark the largest sales week for that category in this year as well.
The remainder of sales make up the number of CDs, digital album download purchases, and cassette tape sales.
The last time any album had such a monumentally successful sales week was her 2022 Midnights album — which debuted with 1.14 million copies sold.
Domestically, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) was streamed more than 200 million times in the first four days.
The post, which was reposted by Barstool Sports after being shared by a fan on Twitter, earned a flurry of responses from Taylor’s fans praising the bodyguard.
One wrote: ‘Bro watched The Bodyguard, he knows what’s at stake!’ while another added: ‘Give the man a raise!’
The track that was the most listened to is her song from the vault, I Can See You, with 13 million of those on-demand official audio streams.
If the album continues to remain at number one for the rest of the tracking week, the Midnights hitmaker — who recreated the viral Spider-Man meme with her ex-boyfriend, Taylor Lautner, and his wife, Taylor (Dome) Lautner — will break another record.
“I got a pretty great life back in the U.S.,” Swift’s former security guard told Swisa, in a statement that he shared with Variety. “I got an amazing dream job that I love, great friends that I call family and a very comfortable home. I didn’t HAVE to come here… But I could not stand on the sidelines while families are being slaughtered and burned alive in their homes!!! Just for being Jewish or for being Israelis.”
This summer, Swift’s security guard went viral on social media for protecting Swift while she was on tour. Fans commented on his security detail, as he carefully watched over the star.
