Unveiling the Truth: Meet Frank Andrew Hoover, Taylor Swift’s Alleged Stalker Who Sent Threatening Messages to Her Family – Exclusive Report by TMZ
Taylor Swift made headlines when she attended the ‘Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology’ Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 2, 2016. The superstar looked stunning as always, captivating fans and paparazzi alike with her glamorous presence. Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for The Huffington Post captured Swift’s radiant beauty on the red carpet, further solidifying her status as a fashion icon.
However, not all news surrounding Taylor Swift has been positive. A man named Frank Andrew Hoover allegedly stalked and sent threatening emails to the singer’s family. According to TMZ, Hoover faced charges of stalking and violating a restraining order after law enforcement uncovered menacing emails he sent between 2015 and 2016. One email reportedly stated, “Decided that we are going to end all the Swifts on one day because I can’t stand that virus shit your daughter spread.” These disturbing emails targeted Swift’s father, Scott, with messages like “The evil family of devils: Scott, Austin, Taylor, Andrew. Sincerely, the end real son of god.” Another email ominously proclaimed, “this article is not a joke and is why god is going to burn them into the desert for me.”
Hoover’s inappropriate behavior escalated to a point where he was arrested in October 2016 in Austin, Texas for violating a protective order that prohibited him from being near Swift. Reports indicated that he had also made violent threats against the singer. Law enforcement officials revealed that Hoover, an Austin native, had been lurking near Swift’s motorcade, breaching the court-mandated 500-foot safety perimeter. Hoover’s alleged email to Swift’s father revealed disturbing sentiments: “without her, I walk the earth alone forever and she’ll continue to experience failed relationships that break her heart.” These alarming messages painted a troubling picture of Hoover’s fixation on the pop star.
Unfortunately, Hoover is not the only aggressive fan Swift has had to contend with. Just recently, TMZ reported that New Hampshire police warned Swift’s team about a man who claimed to be her boyfriend and expressed a need for a gun to protect her. Additionally, there have been multiple incidents involving individuals being apprehended for loitering near Swift’s residences in New York City and Rhode Island. The constant threat of overzealous admirers has undoubtedly heightened concerns for Swift’s safety and privacy.
Despite these unsettling events, Taylor Swift remains poised and focused on her music career. She is gearing up to embark on a tour for her latest album, Reputation. According to Newsweek, the star achieved remarkable ticket sales of $180 million in the first week of availability. Industry experts at Billboard project that Swift’s tour revenue could reach an astounding $450 million by its conclusion. Swift’s loyal fan base continues to support her music endeavors, eagerly anticipating the live performances she has in store for them.
