Taylor Swift's Beloved Teacher Dies on Wedding Day
- Kirk Schwabe, Taylor Swift's former teacher and security guard, died at age 69 on Friday, coinciding with the pop star's wedding to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in New York City.
- Before becoming Swift's security guard, Schwabe served as a Chicago police officer and taught criminal justice at Hendersonville High School in Nashville, where he instructed Swift from 2004 to 2006.
- His daughter, Sarah Gordon, revealed on Thursday that Schwabe had entered hospice care after his health "declined rapidly." Swift previously honored him by naming a character Schwabe in the 2010 film Valentine.
- The wedding at Madison Square Garden faced criticism, including complaints from NYPD officers forced to work 30-hour shifts in heat, while reports emerged of stars disappearing behind "magic doors."
- Those who knew him noted Schwabe "cared deeply about people," and he is survived by his wife, Jane, and their daughters.
