AN AMERICAN has been arrested after allegedly making threats against Taylor Swift during her shows in Germany.
The man is being kept in custody until her shows in Gelsenkirchen for The Eras Tour are over.
Taylor, 34, has three shows in Gelsenkirchen on July 17, 18, and 19.
The man, 34, is a suspected stalker of Taylor’s, but his name wasn’t released.
He had a ticket to the show on Wednesday, according to police.
The man was detained while entering the Veltins-Arena after organizers of the event told police, according to Fox affiliate WJW.
He will remain in jail until Saturday.
The stalker made social media threats against the singer and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, police said.
Wednesday night’s show went peacefully, with 60,000 people in attendance, and the police said there is no threat for the rest of the shows.
After the Gelsenkirchen shows, Taylor will remain in Germany until July 28, for two shows in Hamburg and two shows in Munich.
Sadly, this is not the only time Taylor has been stalked and put into a scary situation.
In January, a stalker was caught outside her New York City home around 3 pm and was arrested at 6 pm, according to Page Six.
It is unclear if it is the same stalker in Germany.
The man had tried to break into her apartment two days prior and was arrested, but let go.
An arrest was made after a “person of concern” was in the area, according to the New York Police Department.
A witness told the outlet that Taylor’s security team asked them to arrest the man away from her building.
Taylor Swift embarked on her Eras Tour in March 2023, and the tour is continuing until December 2024. The tour expands all of her albums and eras with multiple costumes changes and surprise songs every night. Here are the remaining dates.

“They went after him on Hudson by Bubby’s,” a source told Page Six.
“He resisted and they had to tackle him.”
Taylor has been dealing with stalkers for a long time as another man in 2021 tried to break into her home.
Hanks Johnson claimed that he was communicating with Taylor on social media before breaking in, according to Fox affiliate WFXR.
The Daily News reported that the man sent direct messages to Taylor’s Instagram while outside of the courthouse and claimed the predictive text suggestions on his phone were replies from the singer.
He was arrested on April 18 at 8:30 pm after a resident saw him inside the building without permission.
Hanks was charged with criminal trespassing and released on his own recognizance after an arraignment.
A few years before this incident, a different man had broken into her apartment, slept on her couch, and used her shower, according to Page Six.
