Taylor Swift Granted 5-Year Restraining Order Against Stalker Brian Jason Wagner

Taylor Swift has been granted a five-year restraining order against Brian Jason Wagner, a 45-year-old man who repeatedly stalked her by showing up at her Los Angeles home, falsely claiming she was the mother of his child, and attempting to redirect her mail. Wagner is legally required to stay at least 100 yards away from Swift's home, vehicles, workplace, and is barred from contacting her by any means, including digital communication, phone, or mail. The court also ordered Wagner to surrender any firearms, ammunition, or body armor he owns to authorities, as part of measures to protect Swift. Wagner has been difficult to locate, believed to be hiding or transient, and did not appear at the recent court hearing, prompting continued concern for Swift's safety. Swift has increased her security precautions, including using a bulletproof shield at public appearances, due to ongoing threats from Wagner and prior stalking incidents. This legal victory offers Swift and her fans relief amid heightened public scrutiny and the upcoming release of her new album.
