Taylor Swift Used Facial Recognition to Identify Stalkers at a Concert

At her Rose Bowl concert back in May, there was a kiosk set up, that would display Taylor Swift’s rehearsals. Naturally, fans would be interested in watching these rehearsals. What these fans didn’t know is that when they looked at the screen, they weren’t just watching rehearsals of their favorite music artist; they were getting their pictures taken too.

It has recently been revealed that this rehearsal kiosk had facial recognition technology installed into it, and that when fans looked at the screen, they were getting their pictures snapped. These pictures were then sent to a location in Nashville to be cross-referenced with a database containing hundreds of photos of known Swift’s stalkers.

Many view this as a breach of privacy for the fans, and they also dislike the secrecy as well. Obviously, if it was made known at the concert that the kiosk was taking your photo, then any potential stalkers would avoid it, but some are still upset. Still, live performing is a dangerous business, and this is a smart method to keep a chain around the legs of those who would do Swift harm. As long as this information is used responsibly (and kept under strict lock and key), this could be a good means of protecting performers in the future.
