Taylor Swift’s Alleged Stalker Arrested Outside Her Manhattan Apartment

In an interview with Elle in 2021, the Anti-Hero singer told the outlet, “My fear of violence has continued into my personal life.”

“I carry QuikClot army grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds,” she explained. “You get enough stalkers trying to break into your house and you kind of start prepping for bad things.”

In May 2023, Mitchel Taebel, 36, from Indiana, was arrested after visiting Swift’s Nashville home following a series of incidents.

In July 2022, Joshua Christian of Brooklyn was caught attempting to sneak into the same Tribeca apartment and making threats through the intercom.

Another stalker, Eric Swarbrick from Texas, pleaded guilty in September 2020 to stalking and sending threatening letters and emails to Swift’s record label. He received a sentence of 30 months in prison.
