Taylor Swift Gets Restraining Order Against Alleged Stalker According to The Blast, a man wielding a knife tried to break into Taylor Swift's home earlier this year. He was arrested in April 2018 for trying to enter Swift's home while wearing a mask and rubber gloves. He was also allegedly carrying a knife, rope and ammunition in his car. The stalker has since been identified as Julius Sandrock. Luckily Swift was not at home at the time, but according to court documents she suffered from "extreme distress" following the incident. Swift can now feel more safer after she recently received a five year restraining order against her stalker. Sandrock has to say at least 100 yards away from the singer at all times.
