Taylor Swift has revealed that she often gets threats from stalkers.

The country-pop star has enjoyed huge fame over the past few years and it seems that has unfortunately increased the amount of over zealous fans.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan, Swift said that she gets "scared" when she hears of threats coming through via her security team. She said:

"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."

She added that her team often warn her to watch for specific people when out and about in public by sending her photos.

The 'Red' star said: "Over the past couple of years it's got worse. I get told if there's been an attempt or a threat. My security text me a picture and say, 'Look out for this dude; he's driven across the country, he's off his meds [medication]', or something like that. No one has ever been successful in getting into my house or anything like that. I have an amazing security team."
