An American man who made threats against Taylor Swift on social media ahead of her first Germany "Eras Tour" stop has been detained.
The 34-year-old, whose name was not released by authorities, will be kept in custody in Gelsenkirchen until Saturday. The "Tortured Poets Department" singer is set to take the stage again on Thursday and Friday evening.
The suspected stalker had a ticket to Swift's concert at Gelsenkirchen's Veltins Arena on Wednesday, police said in a statement. The man had been investigated, but the risk couldn't be ruled out – leading to his detainment during entry checks to the arena.
The alleged stalker made threats against Swift and her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, on social media. Organizers for the Germany stop of "The Eras Tour" tipped off police to the threats.
Police claimed that there was no danger at any point to Swift or to the audience. Wednesday evening’s concert, attended by about 60,000 people, went peacefully.

The Grammy-award winning artist acknowledged the end of "The Eras Tour" while performing her 100th show in Liverpool, England.
"Creo que mucha gente se pregunta: "Bueno, ¿cómo vais a celebrar el concierto número 100?"". dijo Swift en el escenario. "Y para mí, la celebración del concierto número 100 significa que es la primera vez que me reconozco a mí misma y admito que esta gira va a terminar en diciembre".
"Como si eso fuera todo", continuó. "Me parece que queda muy lejos. Pero también me siento como si acabara de hacer mi primer concierto de esta gira, porque vosotros habéis hecho que esto sea tan divertido para nosotros que queríamos hacer 100 conciertos, 150 y pico conciertos."
Swift revealed that the tour has become her "entire life," joking she cannot remember her hobbies anymore.
"Todo lo que hago cuando no estoy en el escenario es sentarme en casa e intentar pensar en algunos mashups ingeniosos de canciones acústicas y pensar en lo que os gustaría escuchar".
