Few of these letters also had a sexually fuelled tone. According to the media portal’s report, Eric Swarbrick also had the intention to murder and rape the singer.

Moreover, he also threatened to take his own life in front of the Big Machine label employees. Back in 2018, he was also arrested in Nashville for trespassing the record label’s premises. Last year, in a letter she wrote for Elle, Taylor Swift spoke up about her now-arrested stalker and the fear of violence in her personal life.
Taylor Swift revealed that she is experiencing some major fear and terror because of Swarbrick’s actions. She added that she has been carrying army grade bandage dressing specially made for gunshot and stab wounds with her. The singer continued and stated that she has taken this major step since there have been enough stalkers who tried to break into her house.
