Taylor Swift Stalker Sentenced To 30 Months In Prison

Swarbrick was given the sentence, which includes three years of supervised release, during a hearing in Nashville, but the terms were agreed upon by prosecutors in a plea agreement Swarbrick entered in 2019.

Big Machine Records started receiving letters from Swarbrick in January 2018 asking CEO Scott Borchetta to introduce him to Swift, according to the complaint. 

Swarbrick sent at least 40 letters and emails which became increasingly violent and sexual. 

He drove from his home in Austin, Texas, to Nashville to personally deliver the letters at least three times and wandered the halls, including on August 2, when he was arrested by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.  

Swarbrick continued to contact Big Machine Records after he was released, expressed his desire to rape and kill Swift and said he would kill himself in front of Borchetta and his staff.
