- Kirk Schwabe, Taylor Swift's favourite teacher and one-time security guard, has died at the age of 69.
- He died of cancer on July 3, which was the same day the pop star married Travis Kelce in New York City.
- Schwabe taught criminal justice at Hendersonville High School, where Swift was a student from 2004 to 2006.
- He later worked as Swift's security guard from 2009, at her father's request, before leaving the role a few years later due to burnout.
- Swift previously honoured Schwabe by naming a character after him in the film "Valentine's Day" and reportedly drew inspiration from his lessons for her songs.
