Taylor Swift's Safety in Question After Chilling Encounter With Stalker originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
While pop star Taylor Swift has had plenty to celebrate over the last week after announcing she bought back the master recordings of her first six studio albums, she's also had some difficulties too.
Swift, who's dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, has spent the bulk of the last four months out of the public eye with her NFL star love interest traveling overseas and taking several offseason vacations together.
But it wasn't that long ago that the couple was dealing with a worrying security threat after Kelce's $6 million Leawood, Kansas, home was broken into last year.
The incident reportedly left the couple on 'high alert' given Swift's prior history with security issues when she had to cancel several shows during her 'Eras Tour' last year in Austria after it was discovered she was the alleged target of a planned terrorist attack.
And now, according to a report from TMZ, Swift has more security issues to worry about after she had multiple chilling run-ins with a stalker recently that prompted her to file a restraining order on Friday.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, Swift claims ex-convict Brian Jason Wagner, who's reportedly been harassing her for years, showed up at her house uninvited in May requesting to see her.
Wagner has also allegedly changed the address on his driver's license to her home in Los Angeles, and he's even falsely claimed Swift is the mother of his child.
Swift asked the court to order Wagner to stay at least 100 yards away from her, her residence, her workplace, and her car.
'Taylor claims Wagner used concerning and threatening language in the communications and tried to divert mail from her residence,' TMZ reported.
'Taylor says Wagner previously showed up to her home at least 3 times in July 2024 ... including one alleged visit where he was allegedly carrying a glass bottle 'that could have been used as a weapon.''
The news prompted several of Swift's fans to hit social media to express their concern over her safety.
"I am glad she has Travis to protect her when they are together," one fan wrote.
"The amount of potentially harmful weirdos she has in her orbit is scary," another added.
"Every single person who stalks her jet, his friends, has GCs passing details on her whereabouts, and feels entitled to her personal information...you all contribute to this sort of thing. And I hope karma finds you swiftly," a third fan exclaimed.
"This is exactly why people need to stop posts pictures of Taylor without her knowledge or consent and giving away her location Taylor has all sorts of crazy people after her," one user scoffed.
"This is why we don't share her location in real time," remarked another user.
Fortunately for Swift, she's spent most of her time this offseason with Kelce, and she's been in Kansas City with him recently as he prepares for the upcoming NFL season.
