Taylor Swift recently took legal action against an alleged stalker who visited her Los Angeles estate "several times," claiming to be in a relationship with her.

According to US Weekly, Swift requested a restraining order against 45-year-old Brian Jason Wagner of Colorado because she was concerned for her safety. Per the approved order, Wagner, by law, must remain "at least 100 feet away from the pop star and her L.A. property" at all times.

NBC News mentioned that Wagner visited the "Karma" icon's home in July 2024 carrying a glass bottle "that could have been used as a weapon." In her official declaration, Swift revealed that the alleged stalker referred to her as "the mother of his son" in an attempt to get in contact with her.

"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."

Wagner most recently visited her property twice last month, claiming to be "checking on a friend."

Swift's declaration also noted that the individual had previously been incarcerated for concerning emails he sent to her staff.

"Mr. Wagner has also sent my staff hundreds of emails with similarly concerning and threatening language, tried to divert mail from my residence to his attention, and even lied to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to somehow change the address on his driver’s license to my Los Angeles home."

The "Lavender Haze" hitmaker deemed Wagner's actions "inappropriate" and "threatening," and Judge Debra R. Archuleta agreed.

A hearing is set to take place on June 30, per court records obtained by NBC News.
