Man wanted on outstanding warrant arrested trying to break into Taylor Swift’s NYC townhouse
On January 21, a man was arrested near mega-star Taylor Swift’s New York City townhouse after the NYPD reported that he was taken into custody after attempting a break-in. Witnesses in the area said the man tried but failed to enter her townhouse in the early afternoon on Sunday. The same man was charged on an unrelated 2017 warrant out of Brooklyn for allegedly failing to answer a summons.
Police have not released the man’s name.
The 34-year-old Swift and her homes across the United States have been targeted by several stalkers over the years. Last year, Mitchell Taebel, 37, was arrested after showing up outside her Nashville home, and he was charged with intimidation, harassment, stalking by threatening serious injury or death and invasion of privacy.
Swift’s Tribeca townhouse has been the scene of several other break-ins and attempts when Swift wasn’t there, including some by other alleged stalkers. In 2022, a man was charged with trespassing and stalking after authorities said he entered two Tribeca residences linked to Swift. Also that year, a man was arrested for crashing a car into the townhouse and reportedly told police he wouldn’t leave until he met the star.
In 2018, another man broke into her townhouse and took a nap. The same man was charged a year later with another break-in at the building – even after serving a jail sentence. Police say alleged stalkers have also been arrested at some of her other homes, including ones in Beverly Hills, California, and Watch Hill, Rhode Island, according to The Associated Press.
It isn’t clear if Swift was at her home at the time of yesterday’s attempted break-in.
