Taylor Swift may have had the biggest event of the past year with The Eras Tour, but it looks like the global pop icon is taking some much-needed time out of the spotlight and for good reason. Behind the glitz, glamour, and sold-out stadiums, Taylor has been dealing with something deeply disturbing, a stalker who just won’t back off.
In documents filed on June 6, Taylor Swift requested a temporary restraining order against a man named Brian Jason Wagner, citing repeated, uninvited visits to her Los Angeles home that left her feeling vulnerable and afraid. The Los Angeles Superior Court agreed with her concerns and granted the order earlier this week. Honestly, it’s no wonder she’s been laying low lately, and sticking by boyfriend Travis Kelce’s side like glue.
According to court documents reviewed by USA Today, Wagner’s troubling behavior started over a year ago. He showed up at her home for the first time on July 9, 2024, and then made two more uninvited visits just weeks later. More recently, he returned again on May 21 and May 22 of this year. During these visits, he insisted he needed to see Taylor “personally,” even telling her staff he was “checking on a friend.”
Taylor Swift Dealing With Yet Another Scary Stalker Situation
Swift was clear in her filing that she had “never publicly disclosed” the location of her LA home. So the fact that this man somehow found her address and kept coming back is next-level disturbing. “I live in fear of imminent harm,” she stated in the petition, describing Wagner’s behavior as both “concerning and threatening.” It’s hard to imagine the mental toll that must take, especially for someone constantly under the public eye.
It gets even more bizarre. The documents reveal that Wagner falsely claimed he had a relationship with Taylor, and even insisted they had a child together. Yep, you read that right. He allegedly told her team that he believed Swift was the mother of his son and that he “lived” at her property. Taylor called the claims “untrue and disconnected from reality,” and honestly, who could blame her?
If that wasn’t creepy enough, the stalker has also reportedly sent hundreds of emails to Swift’s team. This is not just some casual obsession; it’s a full-blown delusion. And it’s exactly the kind of situation that reminds us celebrities are human too. No amount of fame or fortune makes you immune to fear, especially when someone refuses to respect your boundaries.
Legal Action Has Been Taken
Thankfully, the restraining order is in place now. Wagner is barred from contacting Swift in any way, coming near her home, her workplace, her vehicle, or even being within 100 yards of her at all. The order stands until at least June 30, when a hearing will determine whether further legal action is needed.
For fans wondering why Taylor hasn’t been as active lately, this may be part of the reason. She’s been balancing fame, relentless touring, and now personal safety concerns — all while trying to maintain her sense of peace. Can we blame her for hitting pause? Not at all. She deserves to feel safe in her own home, period.
This situation serves as a chilling reminder that the pressure and invasiveness celebrities face often go way beyond flashing cameras. For now, we’re just hoping Taylor Swift gets the protection and peace she needs. And when she’s ready, we’ll be here, cheering her on.
