Taylor Swift is no stranger to unwanted attention—but a recent case involving an alleged stalker has pushed the situation into dangerously uncharted territory. The pop megastar has been granted a temporary restraining order against a Colorado man, Brian Jason Wagner, after a disturbing series of incidents that have left her fearing for her safety and the safety of her family.

Swift details how Wagner has repeatedly visited her Los Angeles home since 2024, showing up multiple times despite having no relationship or connection with her. The situation escalated dramatically in July of that year when Wagner allegedly arrived at her residence holding a glass bottle—something Swift described as potentially being used as a weapon.

But Wagner’s actions didn’t stop at trespassing.

According to Swift’s sworn declaration, Wagner has made a series of delusional and deeply troubling claims, including that he lives on her property, that they are in a romantic relationship, and even that she is the mother of his son. “All of which are untrue and disconnected from reality,” Swift stated firmly.

One of the most disturbing revelations? Wagner allegedly managed to update his driver’s license to display Swift’s actual Los Angeles address—an invasion of privacy that stunned even her seasoned security team. As part of their background investigation, Swift’s team discovered that Wagner had previously been incarcerated, during which he sent her numerous letters describing a fabricated romance and a deeply personal involvement in her life.

The harassment didn’t end there. Wagner reportedly sent hundreds of threatening emails to Swift’s staff and even tried to reroute her mail to his own home. When he returned to her property again in May—claiming, bizarrely, that he was just “checking on a friend”—Swift said she felt a real and growing threat. “The fact that both of these recent visits and Mr. Wagner’s inappropriate and threatening communications to my staff… have escalated in recent weeks creates a fear of imminent harm,” she wrote.

A Los Angeles judge granted the temporary restraining order, which bars Wagner from coming near Swift’s home, workplace, or any of her vehicles. He is also prohibited from any form of contact with the singer. Wagner has not responded publicly, and attempts to reach his legal counsel have so far gone unanswered.

Sadly, this isn’t the first time Swift has had to defend herself from unwanted advances. Just last year, during her Eras Tour stop in Germany, another man was arrested at the venue after being flagged by concert organizers. Authorities held him until Swift safely departed the city.

In a candid 2019 interview with CBS Mornings, Swift opened up about her constant need for vigilance. “I try not to ever really say where I am the most,” she admitted. “Since all my addresses are on the internet, people tend to show up uninvited. Like, you know, dudes that think we have an imaginary marriage.”

Despite the chaos, Swift has continued pushing forward—balancing her record-breaking tour schedule, time with boyfriend Travis Kelce, and moments of downtime between New York and Florida. But this latest legal move is a stark reminder that even the world’s biggest stars aren’t immune to terrifying invasions of privacy.

For now, Taylor Swift has secured a legal barrier between herself and the man she’s never met. But as fans, the question remains—how many more times will she have to do this? And how far will the next obsessed stranger go?
