Frank Andrew Hoover was busted in 2016 after he showed up at one of Swift’s concerts in Austin, violating a protective order Swift had against him. The order was filed in response to several threatening emails Hoover had sent the singer’s father.
Some excerpts from these disturbing emails include: “Decided that we are going to end all the Swifts on one day because I can’t stand that virus shit your daughter spread”; “The evil family of devils: Scott, Austin, Taylor, Andrew. Sincerely, the end real son of god”; and “this article is not a joke and is why god is going to burn them into the desert for me.”
Hoover pled guilty to repeatedly violating the order, and Monday he was sentenced to 10 years probation. As part of his probation, Hoover’s whereabouts will be monitored by GPS for at least the first year. He has to stay a mile away from Taylor and her family. Hoover also has to complete psychological testing, attend substance abuse classes, surrender all firearms and undergo random drug testing.
