Pretty wild

Florida Man dresses as a security guard to sneak into Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, then gets caught by his own 'clients.'

Ivan Mariotti, 44, of Key Biscayne, allegedly wore a blue suit with a gold badge around his neck to pose as security and slip into the Eras Tour show at Hard Rock Stadium on October 18, 2024. When an officer asked about the badge, Mariotti said he'd been hired to escort 'his four clients' to their seats, but those four women told police they'd only hired a driver, not a security guard. He was charged with falsely impersonating an officer and interference with a sporting or entertainment event.
