An American man has reportedly been detained in Germany after making threats against the pop star Taylor Swift and her Kansas City Chiefs tight end boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Alleged Swift Stalker Detained
The 34 year-old alleged stalker, whose name has not been released to the public, was detained ahead of Swift’s first Eras Tour stop in Germany.
Swift is set to perform in Gelsenkirchen again on both Thursday and Friday nights. That’s why the man will be detained until Saturday.
Police say that the suspected stalker had a ticket to Swift’s concert at Gelsenkirchen’s Veltins Arena on Wednesday, which drew 60,000 fans. Though the man had been investigated, officials couldn’t rule out the risk that he posed. The ultimately detained him during entry checks to the arena.
This came after organizers for the Germany stop of “The Eras Tour” tipped off police to threats that the man had made to Swift and Kelce on social media. Despite detaining the man, police claim that Swift and the audience were not in any real danger from him.

Swift’s Previous Stalkers
This is sadly far from the first time that Swift, 34, has had to deal with a stalker.
Back in January, a stalker was caught outside of her home in New York City at around 3 pm. He was then arrested at 6pm.
“They went after him on Hudson by Bubby’s,” one local source told Page Six at the time. “He resisted and they had to tackle him.”
This alleged stalker had broken into Swift’s apartment just two days before. However, he was then let go. There is no word at this time if this is the same suspected stalker as the man detained in Germany.
Back in 2021, another man attempted to break into Swift’s New York City home.
Hanks Johnson, 52, had told police that Swift was communicating with him on social media before he broke in.
“She knows that I’m coming here, we’re friends,” he told officers, according to the criminal complaint against him.
A security guard told police that Johnson had been ringing the doorbell and trying to enter the building at least five times over the previous six months. He continued doing this despite being told by the security guard that he was not welcome on the property.

Alleged Stalker Sleeps In Swift’s Bed
Previously, in 2018, 22 year-old Roger Alvarado broke into Swift’s home and used her shower before sleeping in her bed. Thankfully, she was not home at the time. He was apprehended in her bed and was charged with felony stalking, along with burglary, criminal mischief and criminal trespass.
This all just goes to show that being the most famous pop star in the world may not be all that it’s cracked up to be. Please join us in saying a prayer for Swift and Kelce as they continue to have to deal with the crazies of the world!
