The Stalker had the ticket to Taylor Swift’s Gelsenkirchen show

The unnamed American man drew the attention of authorities after allegedly making threats against Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce on social media. He was arrested at the entrance of Swift’s concert in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, on July 17.

According to the Associated Press, the 34-year-old man, whose identity was not disclosed, had a ticket to the event at Veltins Arena. He was detained upon entry as officials assessed the potential risk after receiving a tip from event organizers. A local judge decided that the man should remain in detention for the duration of Swift’s Eras Tour residency in the city, and he was released on July 20. Authorities assured that Swift, Kelce, and the 60,000 fans present at the event were never at risk.

This incident marks the second stalking case involving Swift in recent months. Earlier this year, David Crowe was detained twice in three days after Swift reported him "lurking" around his apartment.

Swift is currently touring Europe on her record-breaking tour, with upcoming performances in Munich on July 27 and 28. Travis Kelce, who won the Super Bowl earlier this year, has been seen accompanying her on the tour.
