Scary ... Intruder arrested at Taylor Swift's Nashville home

Well this certainly isn't going to put Taylor Swift's mind at ease. 

Taylor recently told Cosmopolitan UK that she has a stalker problem but that she tries to ignore it. She says, “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.”

Now comes word from TMZ that a 24-year-old man was arrested at one of Taylor's Nashville homes early this morning after he jumped the fence. 

TMZ reports that Jacob Kulke was arrested at 1:45 AM, telling police that he had ridden the bus from Wisconsin so that he could spend Taylor's birthday with her, which was on Thursday. 

Luckily Taylor was spending her birthday in the UK with her current boyfriend Harry Styles at the time. 

When police arrived, Kulke told them he was the boyfriend of the homeowner and had been in contact with someone at the home via social media. He was arrested and held on $10,000 bond.

According to TMZ,  Kulke has a criminal past having been convicted of battery, disorderly conduct and drug possession in Wisconsin back in 2010. 

Wow. So scary. Might be time to not only have bodyguards, but have a couple of really big and burly guard dogs to patrol the grounds of her various homes, preferably ones that have a taste for human flesh. 

UPDATE: I believe this is the mugshot from 2010 of Taylor's late-night visitor.

I figure it was one crazy, recognizing a kindred spirit in another

Hope no one thinks I'm overdoing it on these links, but I find it interesting that each one has one piece of information not included elsewhere.

There's one more, but I'm just not linking to that, as it gives the actual address of the property. I just don't want to spread that around.

Here's a link to the local story I read, which carefully stays away from definitively stating that the home is Ms. Swift's. Based on the name of the road given for the residence, she may own it, but I doubt she actually resides there regularly. http://www.wsmv.com/story/20344141/taylor-swift-trespassing
