Man Robs Bank In Attempt To Impress Taylor Swift

Bruce Rowley, an ardent fan of pop superstar Taylor Swift, has robbed a bank in Connecticut in hopes that he would win over the singer.

'Look What You Made Me Do'

According to reports, the man entered a bank and demanded money from the teller. Authorities claimed that he did not make any threats or even brought out a weapon, but he was handed an unknown amount of money.

Rowley, then, drove over to the "End Game" singer's home in Rhode Island and threw wads of cash over her fence. State troopers from the state were able to spot and pursue him. He was arrested in the neighboring state of Connecticut.

TMZ reports that the man said he has been trying to contact the 28-year-old star, but she was not home. He also revealed that he has a crush on the singer-songwriter and planned to donate some of the cash he stole from a bank in Ansonia to Swift so as to impress her.

It is not clear whether or not Rowley did go to the Grammy-winning artist's home in Rhode Island.

The authorities charged the man with second-degree robbery and fourth-degree larceny. He is currently being held on bail.

Trespasser Arrested

Another man was recently caught trespassing at the singer's home in Beverly Hills. The unnamed homeless man is charged with a misdemeanor which, if found guilty, could land him six months in county jail.

Stalker Problem

The two separate incidents happened just a week after another deranged Swift fan, Frank Andrew Hoover, had been sentenced to 10 years of probation for violating the restraining order that was granted to Taylor against him. Authorities also found that Hoover, 39 years old, has threatened to kill the "Delicate" singer and harm her family.

In March, a 28-year-old man was arrested for stalking the pop superstar in New York City and gaining access to her building. The man allegedly reached her door but was never able to interact with the celebrity.

Two months ago, a 58-year-old man bragged to authorities that he was the singer's boyfriend and that he would need a gun to protect her in Africa.

In 2014, Swift also sought a restraining order against a man, Timothy Sweet, who has been stalking her since January 2011. The man had a delusion that he was marrying or already married to the singer and they have been living in Beverly Hills.

"Dearest Taylor, I'll kill any man who gets in the way of our marriage," he declared in a comment. "Message to John Kerry, Secretary of State. Message from YOUR Presidential Candidate."

Swift is scheduled to perform in several locations in North America and Europe as part of her reputation album tour.
