Taylor Swift cannot catch a break from alleged stalkers, as the man arrested for trespassing in her NYC home returns for the second time in three days. 

Multiple obsessed fans have threatened the blonde songstress's well-being over the years, and her latest fan doesn't know how to take a hint. After failing to break into the "Bland Space" hitmaker's apartment, the culprit made a shocking comeback at the property only to be escorted off in handcuffs.

Taylor Swift's Alleged Stalker Was Caught Lurking Around Her NYC Home AGAIN

The stalking drama made waves this weekend after authorities arrived at Swift's NYC townhouse following reports of a man attempting to enter her home without authorization. Although he was hauled away in handcuffs, the experience didn't stop the fan from returning to the scene of his crime.

Fortunately, the splash he made on Saturday caused surrounding neighbors and Swift's security team to easily recognize him when he approached the building again on Monday, January 22.

Sources noted the "Bad Blood" singer's security head immediately alerted authorities to the man's presence, and eyewitnesses also shared similar reports about a man lurking around the townhouse. However, he was nowhere to be found when NYPD officials eventually arrived.

It is unclear if the obsessed fan ran off when authorities arrived, but insiders told TMZ he wasn't far from Swift's home. The police found him less than a block from the residence, where they interrogated him about the incident.

The episode ended similarly to his first offense, with cops slamming him in handcuffs and into the back of one of their police cruisers. At the time, there are no details about the fan's fate or if Swift will respond to the matter by filing charges against him.

As stated, this isn't the Grammy winner's first encounter with obsessed fans, and some of her past alleged stalkers had even displayed violent behaviors. In 2022, she made headlines after a man allegedly threatened to harm her if she didn't reciprocate his feelings.

The culprit, Joshua Christian, raised several alarms, given his multiple run-ins with Swift and her security team. His harassment escalated in June 2022 when he visited the singer's NYC penthouse with the "intent to annoy and harass" her, per law officials.

Christian used the building's intercom to buzz up to Swift's apartment, who was surprisingly home at the time and answered the intercom. It was unclear what words were exchanged, but the fan allegedly threatened to hurt her if she refused to be with him.

Naturally, the "You Belong With Me" singer responded to his provocation by calling authorities, and they arrested Christian at his home. The incident occurred amid rumors that Swift had been engaged her then-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.

Taylor Swift's Alleged Stalker Forced Lindsey Stirling To Hire A Private Investigator

Before Swift's NYC townhouse alleged stalker made waves for his second offense, another of her alleged obsessed fans was accused of harassing the violinist Lindsey Stirling. The musician's life reportedly became a nightmare after catching the eye of an overzealous man.

The culprit's antics forced Stirling to hire a private investigator named Joe DeLu to track down the fan and give him a stern warning. This man wasn't a first-time offender, as he reportedly had ties to Swift, whom he has allegedly been obsessed with for over a year.

DeLu's encounter with the fan was captured in a new Fox show about stalkers. As for why Stirling chose his services over that of the police, the private investigator explained that many law enforcement agencies refuse to serve alleged stalkers with stay-away orders out of fear of being attacked and harmed.

As a result, few people are willing to address these incidents, and that is where private investigators come in. It remains to be seen how effective DeLu's methods will be against the alleged stalker, but Swift may need his help against her NYC harasser.

One of the "Cruel Summer" singer's neighbors revealed the man had been lurking around her home for weeks before his attempted break-in. He was reportedly "sleeping on the stoop, chain-smoking constantly, shouting, and generally making everyone uncomfortable."

Another eyewitness noted he arrived before Christmas and was confronted by her spouse. "My husband asked what he was doing here, and he said, 'I want to see Taylor. He even had flowers at one point," the source revealed.
