A US man accused of stalking singer Taylor Swift in Austin, Texas, has been charged with violating a lifetime restraining order.

Travis County records show Frank Andrew Hoover is being held on Friday on a charge of violating a protective order issued in Kansas that requires him to stay at least 150 metres away from the multi-Grammy award winning artist.

An affidavit says Hoover followed Swift's motorcade after her October 22 concert at Austin's Circuit of the Americas to a private area at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The affidavit says the 39-year-old suspect came within 15 metres of Swift. Hangar workers say he talked about wanting to accompany Swift onto her plane.

Hoover, of Austin, was arrested on Thursday. Bond is set at $US100,000 ($A132,360). No lawyer is listed to speak on Hoover's behalf.
