Taylor, 34, will perform three shows in Gelsenkirchen on July 17th, 18th and 19th.

The 34-year-old man is suspected of stalking Taylor, but his name has not been released.

He had a ticket to Wednesday’s show, police said.

The man was detained upon entering the Veltins-Arena after event organizers told police, according to Fox affiliate WJW.

He will remain in prison until Saturday.

The stalker made threats on social media against the singer and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, police said.

Wednesday night’s concert passed peacefully, with 60,000 people in attendance, and police said there was no threat to the rest of the shows.

After the shows in Gelsenkirchen, Taylor will remain in Germany until July 28, for two shows in Hamburg and two shows in Munich.

A SCARY OCCURRENCE

Unfortunately, this isn’t the only time Taylor has been stalked and put in a scary situation.

In January, a stalker was caught outside her New York City home around 3 p.m. and was arrested at 6 p.m., according to Page six.

‘Security is going to get you,’ Travis Kelce told the NFL star, who texted him a strange marriage proposal near Taylor Swift’s house

It is unclear whether it is the same stalker in Germany.

The man had tried to break into her apartment two days earlier and was arrested, but was released.

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 his building.

“They went after him at Hudson by Bubby’s,” a source told Page Six.

“He resisted and they had to confront him.”

TAYLOR’S HORROR

Taylor has been dealing with stalkers for a long time when another man in 2021 tried to break into her home.

Hanks Johnson claimed he was communicating with Taylor on social media before breaking in, according to the Fox affiliate WFXR.

The daily news reported that the man sent direct messages to Taylor’s Instagram while outside of court and claimed that the predictive text suggestions on his phone were responses from the singer.

He was arrested on April 18, at 8:30 pm, after a resident saw him inside the building without authorization.

Hanks was charged with criminal trespass and released on bail after an arraignment.

A few years before this incident, a different man broke into her apartment, slept on her couch and used her shower, according to Page six.

The stalker was arrested and will be held until Saturday, when her shows end
