Taylor Swift Files Restraining Order Against Colorado Man Who Claims They Have A Child Together

Taylor Swift has filed for a restraining order against a man she says has repeatedly stalked her, making her fear for her safety.

According to court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Swift, 35, alleges that Brian Jason Wagner, of Henderson, Colorado, has shown up at her residence in Los Angeles.

Wagner first started showing up to her home in July 2024, and made at least three visits to the property in that month alone. He was confronted by her security team each time, and during one of those visits, Wagner “was carrying a glass bottle that could have been used as a weapon,” the singer said.

“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 wrote in her declaration.

The musician’s team said it conducted a criminal background check and discovered that Wagner was allegedly incarcerated in 2023 when he began attempting to contact her.

In those communications, Swift’s team said he expressed an obsessive fixation, claimed to be in a relationship with her, and made other false assertions about being involved in her personal life.

A member of Swift’s security team, who also submitted a declaration to the court, said Wagner attempted to contact the singer hundreds of times while incarcerated. As a result, the team issued a “security alert” identifying him as a potential threat.

Swift is requesting the court prohibit him from coming within 100 yards of her, her family, her properties, and any venue where she is performing or rehearsing. A hearing on the restraining order request is scheduled for later this month.
