Police said Tuesday they arrested a 33-year-old man twice in three days after he chased Taylor Swift out of her Manhattan home.
Police charged the man, David Crowe, of Seattle, on Monday with two counts of harassment and two counts of stalking. A neighbor and a security guard at the pop star's Tribeca building discovered Mr. Crow, who was first arrested near Ms. Swift's home over the weekend.
At approximately 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, security personnel called 911 to report that Mr. Crowe had attempted to enter the home, police said.
When officers looked up Mr. Crowe’s name in police records, they saw that he had two arrest warrants from 2017: one for an open container and another for disorderly conduct in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighborhood. A judge had issued the arrest warrants after Mr Crowe failed to appear in court to answer the summonses.
Mr. Crowe was arrested on those warrants on Saturday, but was not charged with trying to enter Ms. Swift's home.
On Monday, at about 6 p.m., Mr. Crowe returned to Ms. Swift's building, police said. A neighbor in the building and at least one member of the singer's security team saw Mr. Crowe and called 911. Police said Mr. Crowe was “acting erratically.”
Mr. Crowe's trial on stalking and harassment charges remains pending, according to a spokesman for the Manhattan District Attorney. It was not clear on Tuesday who represented Mr. Crowe in court.
It was also not known whether Ms. Swift was home during the incidents. She has not posted on Instagram or X about the accusations. Her publicist did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
On Sunday, Ms. Swift attended the NFL playoff game in New York between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs. Her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is a tight end for the Chiefs.
Ms. Swift was nominated for six Grammy Awards this year, including best recording and best pop solo performance for her anthem “Anti-Hero”; Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year for “Midnights”; Best duo and group performance for the song “Karma”. “Anti-Hero” was also nominated for Song of the Year.
In December, Ms. Swift was named Time magazine's Person of the Year.
“Swift's accomplishments as an artist—culturally, critically, and commercially—are so numerous that listing them seems almost beside the point.” I wrote the magazine.
