Taylor Swift Shares Child With Colorado Man? Singer Lands Protection From Ex-Convict's Absurd Claims
Taylor Swift has obtained a temporary restraining order against 45-year-old Brian Jason Wagner, who she says has been stalking her for years. According to court documents, Wagner first appeared at her Los Angeles residence in July 2024, claiming falsely that Swift was the mother of his child and demanding to see her. Despite never having met him, Swift's security team discovered that Wagner had a criminal history, had written the singer lengthy, delusional letters from prison, and even altered his driver's license to bear her home address. Wagner's unwanted visits and threatening mails Swift's declaration states Wagner showed up at her estate on consecutive days in May 2025, insisting he was "checking on a friend"—a claim her team deemed untrue. She states that on at least one July 2024 visit, he carried "a glass bottle that could have been used as a weapon." Her security ran a background check, which revealed Wagner had been incarcerated and had sent "hundreds" of emails to Swift's staff containing false stories about a romantic involvement. He also attempted to divert Swift's personal mail to his own address. Court's protection order and Swift's safety concerns On June 9, 2025, a Los Angeles judge granted Swift's request for a temporary restraining order. The order bars Wagner from coming within 100 yards of Swift, her home, workplace, vehicles, and any location where she is present. Swift's legal filing stressed her fear of 'imminent harm,' given Wagner's escalation in both frequency and intensity of visits and communications. Swift, currently dating Travis Kelce, has faced multiple stalking incidents in recent years, including a 2024 arrest of a man outside one of her Eras Tour shows. In her declaration, she noted her longstanding need for privacy and safety measures, recalling in a 2019 interview with CBS Mornings, 'People tend to show up uninvited like dudes who think we have an imaginary marriage.' With this court order in place, Swift hopes to restore the sense of security she lost due to Wagner's persistent harassment.

Taylor Swift gets restraining order against LA stalker who ‘believes' she's the mother of his child: ‘Fear of harm'
Taylor Swift has been granted a restraining order against her Los Angeles stalker, who 'believes' she's the mother of his child. The pop star said she has a 'fear of imminent harm' because of him. The stalker, Brian Jason Wagner, has allegedly visited her Los Angeles home multiple times and has sent threats to the singer's staff via email. In a restraining order filed on Friday, according to a legal filing obtained by Page Six, Swift said that Wagner made various statements about living at her LA property, 'being in a relationship with me … believing I am the mother of his son … [and] needing to see me in person'. Claiming that all of it was 'untrue and disconnected from reality,' the singer said Wagner first stopped by her Los Angeles home in 2024 and returned several times that July. According to the legal filing, Wagner was carrying a glass bottle on at least one of the occasions in July 2024 'that could have been used as a weapon'. The Grammy winner also claimed that the stalker stopped by her home in May 2025, stating he 'was there checking on a friend (again, this is entirely untrue).' The singer's filing also said that her security team has uncovered that Wagner was once in prison and had allegedly written lengthy jail cell letters to her with 'completely fabricated stories about his involvement in [her] personal life.' They said he wrote 'about his infatuation with [her], and a romantic relationship with [her] (which does not exist).' The filing states that Wagner allegedly found a way to put the singer's address on his driver's license and attempted to send his mail to her home. Taylor Swift reiterated that she has 'no relationship with Wagner' and said she has 'never met nor communicated with him.' The temporary restraining order was granted on Monday and will expire on June 30.
