Taylor Swift has won a temporary restraining order against an alleged stalker who the pop superstar claims showed up at her Los Angeles home numerous times over the past year to falsely claim she’s the mother of his child.

The order requires Brian Jason Wagner, a 45-year-old Colorado man, to stay at least 100 yards away from Swift and her residence. Judge Debra R. Archuleta signed the directive on Monday (June 9), three days after Swift petitioned the court for help.

In the restraining order request filed Friday (June 6), Swift said Wagner is a stalker who first showed up at her Los Angeles residence in July 2024. Wagner allegedly returned multiple times that month, at one point “carrying a glass bottle that could have been used as a weapon.”

“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,” wrote Swift.

Swift said Wagner returned to the house again twice this past May, prompting her security team to run a background report. At this point, Swift’s staff discovered that Wagner had a criminal record and had sent “lengthy communications” from jail discussing a nonexistent romantic relationship with the singer.

According to the restraining order request, Swift’s team also discovered that Wagner had attempted to steal her mail and illegally obtained a California driver’s license that listed her Los Angeles address as his own.

“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,” wrote Swift in the filing. “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. 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.”

The temporary restraining order is set to expire on June 30, when Judge Archuleta will hold a hearing to determine whether a more permanent restraining order should be put in place.

Swift’s reps did not immediately return a request for comment on Monday. Wagner could not be reached for comment.

This is just the latest in a string of disturbing incidents that have landed Swift’s alleged stalkers in legal trouble over the past few years. Florida man Roger Alvarado was sentenced to six months in jail in 2019 for breaking into Swift’s New York home and taking a nap in her bed, and Texas resident Eric Swarbrick was sentenced to two and a half years in federal prison in 2020 for sending violent and threatening letters to her former label, Big Machine Records.

In January 2024, a man named David Crowe was charged with stalking after showing up outside Swift’s New York apartment dozens of times in just a few months. The charges were ultimately dropped, as Crowe was declared mentally unfit for trial and transferred to a mental health facility.
