If youre one of Taylor Swifts stalkers and feel like attending her shows is a good idea (or, you know, stalking her in general) think again – shes onto you.
Its been claimed the singer has installed some super high-tech tech that is equipped to detect her known stalkers who might chance a concert of hers.
According to reports, a kiosk which showed performance rehearsals before the actual live performance punters paid to see at Rose Bowl on 18 May this year scanned anyone who caught a glimpse for a fiendish reason.
As fans stopped and stared at the performance, their photos were sent to a command post in Nashville (which may or may not be operated by her cats back in her home city) which then scanned through a database that holds the information of hundreds of her known stalkers.

Wow, Taylor, wow. We gotta say, safety first. We Guess.
Mike Downing, chief security officer of Oak View Group, an advisory board for concert venues told Rolling Stone: Everybody who went by would stop and stare at it, and the software would start working.
He added he was invited to trial during a demo at the LA gig.
Its not known from the report where her fans photographs will end up, how theyll be used and for how long Taylors command post will hold onto them.
However, as the Guardian noted, seeing as her concerts are classed as an event, the singer isnt legally obliged to note on tickets concert-goers may have their photos taken.
Its clear the Love Story singer takes her security seriously, as shes had many security threats in the past after most recently in September this year, she got a restraining order against Eric Swarbrick.
He had been harassing the singer with letters threatening her rape and murder since September 2016.
Then earlier, in April, Julius Sandrock was arrested outside Taylors Beverly Hills home, wearing a mask and with a knife in his car. He told police he travelled from Colorado to see the performer and Taylor swiftly got a restraining order in May.
