SAN DIEGO, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- A fan was tackled to the ground and arrested after charging Taylor Swift's stage during a concert over the weekend.

According to TMZ, 26-year-old Christian Ewing jumped onto the main stage during Swift's San Diego concert Saturday while the singer strutted down a catwalk performing "Style." Security immediately responded, but not without injury. One guard reportedly broke a rib during the on-stage brawl.

While Ewing and the guards struggled, Swift spared nothing but a glance in their direction during the show.

The tackled stage intruder apparently snuck into Swift's California concert and spent most of the night evading security. He was booked for felony and misdemeanor, battery and obstruction with a $35,000 bail.

Swift recently took home four VMAs after Sunday's awards show. Her star-studded video "Bad Blood" won Video of the Year.
