Javers writes, “CNBC was permitted to bring a camera to the conference by event organizers, and Swift had earlier sent a news release advertising the CEO’s upcoming speech on cybersecurity.
“But before Leibbrandt’s speech, CNBC’s camera operator was told to leave the event.
“A spokesman for Swift later apologized and attributed the ejection of the cameraman to a miscommunication. He dismissed a suggestion that the ejection shows an extreme level of anxiety within Swift about the cybersecurity issue.
“‘It does no such thing,’ the spokesman wrote in an email to CNBC.
