A 22-year-old Taylor Swift fan has reportedly been arrested on charges of "trespassing" near Swift's brand new Rhode Island mansion.
According to the Boston Globe, Lucas H. Vorsteveld, a die-hard Swift fan was arrested after he admitted to swimming up to the beach in front of Swift's mansion with the intention of meeting the star crooner.
Various sources said to TMZ that the Vorsteveld swam all the way to the beach across the mansion, saw her security team and decided to swim back to where he started from, around a mile away from Swift's beach. The cops spotted him getting out of the water and walking on Lighthouse Road, which was clearly a "private" marked area. They asked him what he was doing there and he said he was "taking a walk".
However, later he admitted that he was there to meet Swift and he made a two-way round trip in the cold waters to try meeting Swift. He was arrested by the Westerly Police Department for trespassing.
Poor Guy! He didn't even get to meet her and is in custody!
Meanwhile Taylor is settling down in her brand new digs. She was recently spotted arriving at the $17 million residence with her parents and making herself at home there. She was also seen moving her most beloved piece of furniture- her "Lucky Chair"- into the house. Apparently, she composes every hit song sitting on that chair and it is like a success talisman to her.

This is not the first time Swift has faced stalker issues. In 2012, another 24-year-old man had tried to get into her Nashville home by climbing a fence and the secured gate. Apparently, he wanted to surprise Swift on her 23rd birthday. He was also arrested for trespassing, reports The Independent.
Commenting on Security threats, Swift once said in an interview with Cosmopolitan Magazine:
"I get nervous when I have stalker incidents. I try not to talk too much about it because it scares me. Sometimes you get a dude who kind of wants to steal you. That's why I'm so grateful I have people looking after me, like [my bodyguard] Dennis.
Over the past couple of years it's got worse. I get told if there's been an attempt or a threat. My security text me a picture and say, 'Look out for this dude; he's driven across the country, he's off his meds,' or something like that. No one has ever been successful in getting into my house or anything like that. I have an amazing security team."
