Taylor Swift fell victim to an alleged stalker last month who has now been arrested by the New York Police Department.
Joshua Christian was arraigned Friday on stalking charges after authorities tracked him down at his home, TMZ reports.
The arrest comes after several alleged run-ins with the singer and her security team.
Police sources told TMZ that Christian arrived at Taylor’s Manhattan home on June 12 around 10:47 a.m. with the “intent to tease and harass” the pop star.

The source also claims he then rang Taylor’s intercom outside her home and allegedly threatened to hurt her if she refused to let him inside.
It is unclear if Taylor was home at the time, as her bodyguards called the police.
It’s not the first time the Love Story singer has had to endure threats from stalkers, prompting the star to double her security details over the years.
The arrest comes after Taylor is said to have recently got engaged to her British boyfriend Joe Alwyn after more than five years of dating, although the report is yet to be confirmed.

If so, it would mark the pop star’s first engagement after a long string of ill-fated relationships.
The Sun claims the 32-year-old singer wore an engagement ring “behind closed doors” and that the couple only told close friends about the news.
Taylor began dating the Friends star, 31, in late 2016 after they were rumored to have crossed paths at that year’s Met Gala in New York.
“Taylor and Joe are incredibly happy and very, very much in love,” a source who claims to be close to Joe told the outlet on Wednesday.
“They’ve actually been engaged for a few months now, but they’ve only told their closest circle – mainly their closest family and trusted, very old friends.
