Taylor Swift: Man arrested near singer's New York City townhouse after reported break-in attempt

Taylor Swift's townhouse in New York City is reported to have been the target of another break-in attempt.

A man was arrested near the singer's Tribeca home as police responded to a report of a disorderly person.

Witnesses said the man tried but failed to enter the townhouse in the early afternoon on Saturday, the New York Post reported.

Police would not confirm a break-in attempt at Swift's home, but officers arrested a man on the same street when they were told he tried to open a door to a building, a New York Police Department spokesperson said on Sunday.

The man was charged on an unrelated 2017 warrant out of Brooklyn for allegedly failing to answer a summons, the spokesperson said.

Authorities did not release the man's name.

A representative for Swift has been contacted for comment.

It was not clear if she was at the home at the time.

She travelled on Sunday to the Buffalo, New York, area, where her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was set to play against the Buffalo Bills in an NFL playoff game in the evening.

The Tribeca townhouse has been the scene of several other break-ins and attempts when Swift was not there, including some by alleged stalkers.

In 2022, a man was charged with trespassing and stalking after authorities said he entered two Tribeca residences linked to Swift.

Also that year, a man was arrested for crashing a car into the townhouse and reportedly told police he would not leave until he met Swift.

In 2018, another man broke into her townhouse and took a nap, police said.

The same man was charged a year later with another break-in at the building after serving a jail sentence.

Police say alleged stalkers have also been arrested at some of her other homes, including ones in Beverly Hills, California, and Watch Hill, Rhode Island.
