For years, Taylor Swift has mastered the art of living in the spotlight.

However, a far darker narrative is haunting her every move in the form of an alleged stalker who has vanished into thin air.

Despite relentless efforts from her private investigator, he remains untraceable, leaving behind a trail of chilling threats that have forced the superstar into constant vigilance.

Swift’s team has poured resources into finding Brian Jason Wagner, the 45-year-old Colorado native against whom she has a temporary restraining order (TRO).

Yet even a seasoned private investigator cannot locate him.

Brooke Berg, the licensed investigator hired to help Swift, detailed her failed attempts in a recent court filing obtained by the Daily Mail.

“As of the date of this declaration, Respondent has not responded to the September 15, 2025, phone call or text messages,” she wrote.

Court documents reveal repeated calls, texts, stakeouts at former residences, and database searches that were all fruitless.

Berg even reached out to neighbors and former landlords, but not a single positive sighting came back. Hence, she concluded that Wagner was “either transient or actively concealing his whereabouts.”

The frustration has only deepened because months of effort have produced nothing but silence.

Even when Berg managed to track down a phone number, the trail quickly grew cold, feeding the sense that Wagner knows exactly how to slip through cracks in the system.

The TRO, first granted in June and later extended, cited “unlawful violence, a credible threat of violence, or stalking.”

An insider described Swift’s growing unease, saying, “Her team has to be hyper vigilant because she has been stalked so many times and recently discovered she has been targeted by Groyper [alt-right] groups on social media.”

Another added, “As this saga continues with her stalker, it will take precedent over everything she does in her life and career until it is completely taken care of in the courts and through any authoritative measures.”

The haunting reality is that Swift cannot simply shake this off.

Every performance, every appearance, every plan must be weighed against the potential danger.

Even her promotional schedule has been altered, with projects delayed or scaled back depending on how serious online threats are deemed by her security team.

Earlier contact between Berg and Wagner revealed bizarre and disturbing claims.

When asked for an address to deliver legal documents, he replied that “he did not have a place to live.”

During one unsettling exchange, Wagner declared he was “going to have to do something about her,” referring to Swift.

He also claimed he was “supposed to live at [Swift’s] house and work for [Swift], but that [Swift] had gotten angry with him and now his life is ruined.”

“He also stated that he was supposed to live at [Swift’s] house and work for [Swift],” the filing noted, before he lamented that he “could not believe [Swift] was now giving him a restraining order.”

This conversation marked Berg’s last known contact with Wagner. He failed to provide a meeting place, an address, or even a clue to his whereabouts.

Emails, Obsession, And Dangerous Fixations

The danger isn’t limited to phone calls. A massive supplemental court document from Swift’s security team included hundreds of Wagner’s emails, scenic photos, and text messages sent to a “Taylor Swift Fan Club” account.

The filings detail allegations that Wagner has shown up to Swift’s home, diverted her mail, and even falsified DMV records to link his license to her Los Angeles residence.

In messages, he addressed the pop star as “Wifey” and professed his love for her. Yet the obsession carried a threatening undertone.

In July 2024, he allegedly arrived at her home with a glass bottle “that could have been used as a weapon.”

Swift has repeatedly stated she has never met or communicated with Wagner, yet his behavior paints the portrait of a man who refuses to accept reality.

His fixation has evolved from intrusive emails to physical trespassing, each step ratcheting up the fear factor for Swift and her team.

Swift’s paranoia is tragically understandable. She has long endured stalkers who threatened violence, forcing her to carry QuikClot, an army-grade bandage, “for gunshot or stab wounds.”

Her latest appearances underline her heightened security. She slipped into a Kansas City Chiefs game behind a bullet-resistant screen to cheer on fiancé Travis Kelce.

“They used the screen to keep her safe. They have used that screen before, but usually it is for the President or someone like that, not a celebrity,” an insider explained to the Daily Mail.

The assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk earlier this month has only worsened her fear.

“Taylor had concerns because she has received hate mail from the same kinds of extreme groups,” another insider said. “Charlie’s murder, and the weirdness with her stalkers, is why she will take serious measures to increase her security.”
