Taylor Swift took legal action against an alleged stalker, getting a restraining order after living in “fear” of possible danger. On June 6, the pop singer filed for a temporary restraining order against a man who repeatedly visited her home over the year and insisted they share a personal connection. The Los Angeles Superior Court granted Swift the protective order on Monday. USA Today reviewed the court documents, which revealed the individual to be Brian Jason Wagner from Colorado. In the filings, she also raised concerns about her safety.
Taylor Swift claims the alleged stalker has visited her house several times
USA Today shared key details from Taylor Swift‘s restraining order filing against her alleged stalker. Reportedly, the individual in question, Brian Jason Wagner, visited her house several times over a year, with the first instance dating back to July 9, 2024. He then returned twice that same month. More recently, Wagner made two consecutive appearances on May 21 and May 22, and asked to see Swift “personally” after “stating that he was there checking on a friend (again, this is entirely untrue).”
In her petition to the court, the Grammy winner revealed that she had been living in “a fear of imminent harm.” She alleged that Wagner repeatedly visited her house and engaged in “concerning and threatening” conversations with her staff, prompting her to file for the protective order. Swift further mentioned that she has never “publicly” revealed the location of her Los Angeles home or address. Therefore, Wagner’s repeated visits, refusal to leave, and claims of needing access make her “fear for my safety and the safety of my family.”
Taylor Swift’s alleged stalker also made false claims about sharing a personal relationship and a son with her. Moreover, the restraining order filings stated that Wagner made disturbing statements during his visits. These falsified comments included claims about “living” at her LA property, sharing a “relationship” with her, and “believing” she was his son’s mother. Swift called these “untrue and disconnected from reality.” Her claims also mentioned the staff receiving hundreds of emails from him.
Swift’s restraining order ensures her safety and prohibits Wagner from “harassing, stalking, assaulting, or disturbing” her. Additionally, it prevents him from communicating or coming within 100 yards of the pop star, her home, her vehicle, and her workplace. The order will remain effective through the court hearing on June 30.
