Taylor Swift news: Swift's stalker faces new charges over terrifying emails against her and her family

New charges are being pressed against Taylor Swift's alleged stalker after uncovering horrifying emails about killing the Swift family. The hateful emails date back to May 2015 until October 2016.

Frank Andrew Hoover was arrested back in 2016 for tailing Taylor Swift and her family for months until her live performance at the Formula 1 Race on Oct. 22, 2016. Hoover was then arrested on Nov. 10, 2016 by the Austin Police Department in Texas for violating a restraining order handed against him

Prosecutors were able to access the old emails sent by Hoover to Swift's 65-year-old father Scott Kingsley Swift and decided to up the charges against him. According to TMZ, most of the emails threaten the life and security of the entire Swift family like "enjoy the brain aneurysms and death." One email reads, "Decided that we are going to end all the Swifts on one day because I can't stand that virus s*** your daughter spread." There are still no evidence nor leads about who is Hoover referring to when he said "we" in the email.

Here are some other messages that Hoover sent to Scott, "The evil family of devils: Scott, Austin, Taylor, Andrew. Sincerely, the end real son of god,", "This article is not a joke and is why god is going to burn them into the desert for me," and "Go to hell, Swift."

Hoover is not the only one Swift is worried about. A mysterious 58-year-old man in New Hampshire told police that he was Swift's boyfriend and that he needed a gun for protection.

Swift nor any member of her family has  not commented on these latest developments yet. The Grammy recipient is scheduled to perform live in various cities in the United States starting May this year and in other countries later on.
