Grammy-winning singer Taylor Swift has reportedly doubled her security after receiving new threats from a suspected stalker, Brian Jason Wagner, who has allegedly been harassing her since mid-2024.
Taylor Swift is one of the most influential and popular women of the decade, with her fame putting her on the centre stage of the world. She also enjoys a huge fandom and love from many die-hard fans. However, beyond her glitzy and glamorous life, as a woman always in the public eye, Taylor also has some hardcore haters who have proven to be a threat to her safety.
One of them is Brian Jason Wagner, Taylor Swift’s stalker. He has been known to be stalking Taylor Swift for a year and also has a restraining order put on him by the pop star. However, in a terrifying turn of events, Taylor Swift’s stalker has disappeared. And with his whereabouts unknown, and given the recent public assassination of Charlie Kirk, the popstar’s team is being extra cautious. Amid this, here’s everything to know about her stalker, Brian.
According to reports, Brian Jason Wagner is a 45-year-old man from Colorado who has a history of stalking and obsessive behaviour. And since mid-2024, it seems he has Taylor Swift in his sights. Brian has reportedly attempted to break into the pop star’s Los Angeles home on multiple occasions. He has also made claims that he and Taylor have a child in common. Brian also allegedly acquired an illegal identification card that links him to the pop star’s address.
Given Brian’s documented stalker tendencies, Taylor filed a temporary restraining order against him with the help of a private investigator after reportedly tracking him down. The private investigator revealed that the restraining order has not been made permanent since Brian Jason Wagner has evaded phone calls and has not been served with the notice papers.
Taylor Swift’s stalker, Brian has disappeared, which has led to more security for the pop star
In a terrifying turn of events, Brian Jason Wagner has disappeared. As reported, investigations are underway to locate him. This has reportedly become a cause of alarm among Taylor Swift and her team. Given the unpredictable nature of stalkerish and obsessive behaviour, the pop-star and those around her are being very vigilant. An insider shared with Daily Mail:
“Her team has to be hyper vigilant because she has been stalked so many times and recently discovered she has been targeted by online groups on social media. She will change promotional plans or scale back if any threats she has received online are deemed to be serious by her security team. It’s horrible.”
Bulletproof screen and double security for Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift arrived at the Arrowhead Stadium to cheer for her fiance, Travis Kelce during the Chiefs game. However, as per reports, she arrived at the venue behind a bulletproof screen and wasn’t seen by anyone outside the VIP suite. There has also been higher security being deployed for the safety of Taylor Swift. Some speculated that the pop star was trying to hide a secret pregnancy, or was taking extra measures before the release of her newest album, The Life of a Showgirl. Recent reports suggest that these precautions were taken in the wake of the disappearance of her stalker, Brian.
People have also speculated that, after the public assassination of Charlie Kirk, who was shot dead, Taylor and her security team are maintaining more vigilance, given her immense popularity and history of getting threats from stalkers. It could also be possible that the combination of these two factors has led to Taylor Swift’s security being heightened. The popstar also did not attend the Chiefs game in New Jersey due to safety concerns. An insider talked to the same portal about the screen and said:
“They used the screen to keep her safe. They have used that screen before, but usually it is for the President or someone like that, not a celebrity. But this was a weird week.”

It has now been confirmed that the singer and her team took necessary measures to protect herself from alleged stalker Brian Jason Wagner who has attempted entering her Los Angeles house many times and also claims to be sharing a child with the singer.
Taylor Swift’s stalker who vanished
Swift secured a temporary restraining order against Wagner after he repeatedly targeted her. According to She Knows, private investigator Brooke Berg confirmed in legal filings that Wagner has dodged calls and attempts to serve him court papers, making it impossible to finalize the order.
One insider told the outlet that Swift is deeply “concerned” about Wagner because of the “depraved lengths he has gone to to invade her privacy.” They added, “Her team has to be hyper vigilant because she has been stalked so many times and recently discovered she has been targeted by [online] groups on social media. She will change promotional plans or scale back if any threats she has received online are deemed to be serious by her security team. It’s horrible.”
Swift’s long history of stalkers
Sadly, this is not new for Swift, as She Knows highlighted multiple disturbing cases over the years. In 2015, Frank Edward Hoover sent threats to Swift’s father, calling the family “the evil family of devils” and claiming he was the “real son of God.” Hoover was arrested in 2016 and later sentenced to ten years of probation.
Others include David Crowe, who was arrested outside her New York home in 2024 after repeated break-in attempts, and Eric Swarbrick, convicted for sending threatening letters. Mohammed Jaffar and Roger Alvarado also faced charges for trespassing and breaking into her residences.
