Taylor Swift has taken out a restraining order against an alleged stalker, citing “emotional distress” and fears of “immediate harm.”

The pop sensation sought legal protection on June 6 after claiming a man repeatedly turned up at her Los Angeles residence, professing she is the mother of his child. In her court filing, 35 year old Taylor detailed allegations against 45 year old Brian Jason Wagner from Henderson, Colorado, accusing him of making delusional claims about residing at her property.

She further asserted that the man harboured illusions of “being in a relationship with me … believing I am the mother of his son … [and] needing to see me in person.”

The ‘Cruel Summer’ singer branded these assertions as “untrue and disconnected from reality.”

Her petition recounts that the individual first appeared at her home on July 9, 2024, and allegedly made several more visits within the same month. Taylor’s statement to the court reiterated: “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,”, reports the Mirror US.

Taylor Swift has taken legal action against an alleged stalker named Wagner, who reportedly showed up at her LA home on two consecutive days, May 21 and May 22 this year. According to court documents obtained by The Mirror US, Taylor stated, “I am informed that on May 21, 2025, and May 22, 2025, Mr. Wagner again appeared at my Los Angeles property asking to see me personally and stating that he was there checking on a friend (again, this is entirely untrue).”

The ‘Shake It Off’ singer’s security team discovered through a criminal history report that Wagner had been previously jailed, where he penned lengthy writings about his obsession with her, detailing a non-existent romantic relationship and involvement in her personal life.

Swift further claimed that Wagner bombarded her staff with “hundreds of emails with similarly concerning and threatening language” and shockingly altered his driver’s license address to match her LA residence. In a firm declaration, Taylor asserted, “I have no relationship with Mr. Wagner and have never met or communicated with him. There is absolutely no legitimate reason for him to be attempting to contact me or my staff, to approach my home, or to make representations that he lives there.”

Taylor Swift has expressed grave fears over her safety in a recent court filing, claiming, “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. 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.”

Her legal declaration also states, “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.”

A restraining order, issued on June 9 and effective until a court hearing on June 30, strictly forbids Wagner from contact with Swift, maintaining a 100-yard distance from her, her home, her car, and her workplace.

The document asserts, “If an officer has probable cause to believe that the restrained person had notice of the order and has disobeyed the order, the officer must arrest the restrained person.”
