“Taylor was yelling at a security guard because they fully kept putting their hands on us to physically push us off of the barricade instead of just telling us to move,” one Twitter user explained.

“(The) men didn’t even hesitate to touch us to move us and they were very very aggressive when they were doing it.

“We weren’t throwing anything, we weren’t screaming anything insane, she was fully coming over to dance and sing with us and it resulted in security being extremely aggressive for no reason.”
