Taylor Swift completed an outstanding tour Eras before her stop in Germany.
The 34-year-old singer was very persistent in ensuring that everyone at her concerts was safe, but of course, she did not expect that both her and her boyfriend Travis Kelsey would be caught in an unpleasant situation.
According to the Associated Press on Wednesday, July 17, a 34-year-old American, whose name was not disclosed, who allegedly had been stalking the singer of «Love Story», showed up at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, to attend the pop star’s first concert, but was detained due to threats he had previously made towards the couple online.
Although no harm was done, he will remain in custody until Taylor completes all three concerts in the city on Friday.
This unfortunate situation is not new for the singer. In the past, she has been stalked at her home in New York.
She told Elle in 2019: «My fear of violence continues to this day and in my personal life… I carry QuikClot army-grade bandage, which is for gunshot or stab wounds. Sites and tabloids have taken it upon themselves to post every home address I’ve ever had online. If enough threats are made, you start to feel like, 'I can’t beat this.' Every day I try to remind myself of the good in the world, the love I’ve witnessed and the faith I have in humanity. We have to live bravely in order to truly feel alive, and that means not being ruled by our greatest fears».
Despite this, all attendees were able to have a good evening and enjoy her music. The safety of fans has always been a top priority for the singer. Maren Morris, who shared on Jimmy Fallon’s show about being at one of her concerts, said: «On the inside of the barricades at her stadium shows, there were these signs, where it basically said to the local security: 'Be friendly to the fans. Be kind… 'Don't touch the fans. They’re here to have fun.' And everyone was very respectful, and I thought, 'Oh, I like this'»
