Suspected Stalker Arrested Outside Taylor Swift's Bel-Air House

Singer Taylor Swift's safety was jeopardized when an unknown man was seen wandering around her house in Bel Air, California.

While celebrities are used to fandom, stalking is another challenge that they have to deal with time after time. For Grammy winner, Taylor Swift, being followed around might not be normal, but it is certainly not normal for someone to lurk around her house.

Which is why according to reports, Police arrested a man outside the singer's home on Wednesday, February 3, for acting "suspicious." TMZ was first to report the arrest, and mentioned that the man was seen walking around the driveway of Swift's house in Bel Air, Los Angeles during the afternoon of the arrest.

The arresting officers took the suspicious man into custody at 4 PM local time, and went through an evaluation at a local hospital, NME reports. Due to lack of evidence for the man's intent to harm or cause trouble, he was released without charge.

"This is why it's irresponsible for the media to publish the addresses or recent real estate transactions of celebrities. This, or potentially worse, is the end result," said a representative from the singer's camp, in the same report by NME.

While the privacy issues occur, the singer is still busy working on her upcoming projects. Swift is ready to launch her own mobile game with Glu Mobile. Variety reports that the gaming company released a statement that the game is due to be released for late 2016.  

"We realize that Taylor and her global fan base expect a new and highly differentiated mobile gaming experience. Glu is equally committed to designing never before seen gameplay elements that utilize Taylor's unique creativity. Accordingly, we will spend the required development time to ensure this innovation is achieved," said Niccolo de Masi, CEO of Glu Mobile in a report.
