An American man who made threats against Taylor Swift on social media ahead of her first Germany “Eras Tour” stop has been detained.
The 34-year-old, whose name was not released by authorities, will be kept in custody in Gelsenkirchen until Saturday. The “Tortured Poets Department” singer is set to take the stage again on Thursday and Friday evening.
The suspected stalker had a ticket to Swift’s concert at Gelsenkirchen’s Veltins Arena on Wednesday, police said in a statement. The man had been investigated, but the risk couldn’t be ruled out – leading to his detainment during entry checks to the arena.

The alleged stalker made threats against Swift and her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, on social media. Organizers for the Germany stop of “The Eras Tour” tipped off police to the threats.
Police claimed that there was no danger at any point to Swift or to the audience. Wednesday evening’s concert, attended by about 60,000 people, went peacefully.

The Grammy-award winning artist acknowledged the end of “The Eras Tour” while performing her 100th show in Liverpool, England.
“I think a lot of people are like, ‘Well, how are you going to celebrate the 100th show?’” Swift said on stage. “And for me, the celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I’ve ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is gonna end in December.”
“Like, that’s it,” she continued. “That feels like so far away from now. But then again, it feels like I just did my first show on this tour, because you guys have made this so much fun for us that we wanted to do 100 shows, 150-something shows.”
Swift revealed that the tour has become her “entire life,” joking she cannot remember her hobbies anymore.
“All I do when I’m not on stage is just like sit at home and try to think of some clever acoustic song mashups and thinking about what you might like to hear.”
