It was absolute chaos outside of superstar producer Jack Antonoff and actor Margaret Qualley's rehearsal dinner after diehard fans caught wind of Taylor Swift being in attendance.
On Friday night, fans gathered in droves outside of Black Whale Bar & Fish House in Long Beach Island, New Jersey, where the star-studded rehearsal dinner was taking place. Video footage from the Jersey Shore area restaurant showed hoards of people gathering outside hoping to get a glimpse of Swift. The police were eventually called and were attempting to maintain the crowd, as seen in the footage.
In one video taken from the scene, fans can be heard chanting, “Taylor, Taylor." Earlier photos and videos showed Swift entering the restaurant wearing a matching black crop top and skirt set with nude heels.

Swift is currently on a break from touring after finishing her first leg of the Eras Tour in the U.S. The musician will pick back up in October in Miami before heading overseas for the international leg.
After video footage of the massive crowd of Swifties and curious onlookers emerged online, many people pointed out how “disrespectful” and “dangerous” it was that people crashed Antonoff and Qualley's special day just for a glimpse of Swift.
“So disrespectful on the fans part, imagine the biggest day of your life with getting married & showered with love just for a mob of ppl to show up to praise one of your guest & take the attention off you & your spouse,” one person wrote.
“Even outside the psychological toll this is likely taking on Taylor y’all are putting her life at risk,” another person commented. “You realise how easy it is for a dangerous stalker or violent individual to be hiding in that crowd.”
“You got a pity wave and she’s probably going to go home and feel so sad about this while you upload your stupid videos on your stupid tiktok for some stupid f***ing clicks like you’re all sick and crazy,” another said.
Antonoff and Qualley's wedding is set to take place on Saturday and is rumored to attract even more celebrities. Antonoff and Swift have famously collaborated on music for years and have remained good friends throughout.
