Olivia Troye lost an argument, and she was angry.

The former homeland security, counterterrorism and coronavirus adviser to then-Vice President Mike Pence vehemently disagreed with a colleague during a meeting at the start of the pandemic and decided to take refuge in her office and let off some steam.

She queued up Taylor Swift and played the pop star's music on top volume.

Then, a colleague knocked on her door.
"He said, 'Are you trying to get fired?'" Troye told MSNBC's Chris Hayes last week, adding that she was confused by the question.
