An obsessed fan was arrested on a private road near Taylor Swift's Rhode Island beach home in the early hours of Wednesday morning after allegedly swimming two miles to meet her.
Westerly police Captain Shawn Lacey confirmed to RadarOnline.com that a man has been charged with trespass and remains in custody.
Captain Lacey described the incident -- which occurred just after 2 a.m. -- as an "active investigation," but added "nobody was arrested on Taylor Swift's property."
