Taylor Swift Granted Temporary Restraining Order Against Alleged Stalker

Taylor Swift has been granted a temporary restraining order against Brian Jason Wagner, a 45-year-old man from Colorado who has traveled to her Los Angeles residence multiple times and has made claims that he shares a child with the musician. Judge Debra R. Archuleta has ordered Wagner to keep a distance of at least 100 yards from Swift.

Swift petitioned the court for the order on Friday, June 6. “During each of these visits, I am informed that Mr. Wagner made various statements about living at my property (not true), being in a relationship with me (not true), believing I am the mother of his son (not true), and needing to see me in person, all of which are untrue and disconnected from reality,” Swift said, per Billboard.

After making an initial appearance at the singer’s home in July 2024, Wagner allegedly returned “carrying a glass bottle that could have been used as a weapon,” the report reads. Another section states that the alleged stalker illegally obtained an identification card that connected his name to Swift’s address. He reportedly also attempted to collect her mail.

“I do not share publicly where I reside and have never shared my address or the location of my Los Angeles residence with Mr. Wagner,” Swift wrote. “Therefore, the fact that Mr. Wagner has determined where I reside and visited the property several times, refusing to leave and claiming to need access, makes me fear for my safety and the safety of my family.”

This past May, Wagner visited the property twice, Swift said. A recent background check revealed that Wagner’s fixation extends back to his time in jail, where he wrote “lengthy communications” claiming he was romantically connected to her. “The fact that both of these recent visits and Mr. Wagner’s inappropriate and threatening communications to my staff about me have escalated in recent weeks creates a fear of imminent harm,” Swift said.

The temporary restraining order is in place until Monday, June 30.
