Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.
Hundreds of Swifties swarmed the songstress on Friday evening as she left a restaurant on Long Beach Island in New Jersey. The pop superstar purportedly dined with A-list pals for Jack Antonoff’s rehearsal dinner ahead of his Saturday wedding to Margaret Qualley.
Word got around that Swift was in attendance at the dinner, prompting an army of admirers to wait outside the eatery to get a glimpse of the Grammy-winner.
But while the fans were enchanted to see Swift when she finally emerged, bad blood began brewing online as many TikTok creators criticized the admirers’ “weirdo behavior.” Some even said Swift looked “scared” as she was escorted to an awaiting car by security.
Meanwhile, one TikTok user described the devotees — whose chants of “Taylor Swift” echoed down the block — as “stalkers.”“This is not the look of a woman who is happy to see y’all,” pop culture fanatic @Toris.Intel said in a TikTok video Saturday morning which showed Swift looking stunned by the scene. “The audacity meter is beyond,” TikTokker Tori aadded, calling the crowds “disrespectful” to both Swift and Antonoff.
