Graeme O'Neil takes a look at the huge crowd that gathered after word spread that Taylor Swift was in attendance at Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley's rehearsal dinner.
If there wasn't any context, just by the video only, I'd think something bad happened or it was a frat party gone haywire. People really need to re-learn personal boundaries.
Not disrespectful in the least. She is the biggest star on the planet. Bigger than any movie star, bigger than McCartney, Elton, Beyoncé, the Pope. They all take a back seat to Taylor Swift in 2023.
@@Matejj-uf7viBud you've commented this a thousand times and no one cares enough to say anything else other than commenting how you keep on commenting this
As a swiftie this is a bit ridiculous! This isn't normal, the fact that she was attending a rehearsal dinner for a friend's wedding but ended up being a disrespectful public event. This was not the time or place for a 2 second pic/vid of taylor.
To "Swifties," I applaud those of you who are calling out and distancing from the group gathering, as not really "Swifties", because "real Swifties", respect her privacy and the day was for her friend and colleague, Jack Antonov. It's nice to see a Fandom that is not feeling they know the person better, or interfere with their lives. 👏
@@suspiciousstar7547 anyone who sole identity is of a famous person obviously has higher than average obsession over someone else. Not all famous idols has nicknames for their fans. Also no one can gate keep the name "Swiftie" since whoever identify as one obviously is an obsessive fan. Even if you are a "Stan" you are still a "fan".
@@reubensalter8125 🤣 how lame of you. Sadly I'm not a boomer. But hey anyone who has ageism obviously is a prejudice soul. But hey self- identify crazy tribalism kinds of says a lot.
What the hell? All of those uninvited hyper-obsessive people are crashing a private event. They're so delusionally selfish they don't even realize it, or if they do, they don't care. If I heard Taylor was in town, I'd be: "That's cool. I wonder why. Oh, she's here for a friend's wedding? That's nice." Then I'd continue about my day, minding my own business like a normal person. She's not there for a promotion.
"I'm a monster on the hill. Too big to hang out slowly lurching toward you favorite city" I really feel bad for her and her friends when all they want is a night of privacy together but have to deal with the craziness of being so famous. It blows my mind how she can still be such a humble and genuine person after living a life like this.
I agree. How terrible for her to feel she xant participate in a friend's wedding without this type of hysteria, uninvited. And Jack and his wife deserve some respect too. I agree with you, all for that three second glimpse? Come on.... Lol. I live in westerky,RI a few miles from her watch hill home and when she's here, it isnt like that at all. No wonder why its one of her favorite residences.
It’s strange people went to where she was having a private outing. Yea she is famous and it’s expected but it’s a bit invasive and unnecessary. Go to her concert if you want to see her. Looking at it another way if she wasn’t famous and people followed her like this it would be considered creepy. You shouldn’t follow someone around no matter who they are.
This is creepy to me. It's a friend's private milestone event. Let the invited attendees and hosts vibe in peace without hundreds of eyes facing the venue. The people dropping by unannounced need to go about their night elsewhere.
Agree with you 💯. It was a wedding rehearsal everyone. Time and place. Time and place. I know it's Taylor Swift, and Swifties want to catch a glimpse...but come on. Let's also take into consideration how *she* must have felt in that moment? This was her close friends moment, and she may have felt like she put a dent in their shine by having the police needing to be called for crowd control...all because she showed up to support her friends. This is indeed why we can't have nice things people. She may go back into hiding if everyone doesn't calm down 😉🩵✨
THATS INSANE, EVEN ICONS NEED SOME PRIVACY. I'M A HUGE JANET JACKSON FAN, SEEN HER IN CONCERT 17 TIMES BUT I WOULD NEVER DO WHAT THESES PEOPLE DID. I ONCE SAW HER SHOPPING IN BEVERLY HILLS BUT I NEVER INTRUDED ON HER OUTING AND PRIVACY
as a swiftie that really hurts me because it just shows that they don't care and respect her or her teams privacy at all. which is a shame because it brings back to miss Americana. these are stalkers not fans smh
I do as well, being as there is not really security in the crowds when they do stupid things like this. At a concert event everyone has to go threw security and have see threw bags. When people do this they are putting her at a high risk for security issue's. People who truly love and respect her privacy and personal space would never put her at any kind of risk!!!!
It's a treat having all these celebrities here this wknd. I really hope they enjoy themselves. We had the most beautiful day of the summer :) Some of them r enjoying peace.
Actually, Beach Haven is a town on a long narrow island. Accessed by a single bridge or boat. Traffic on and off is a challenge. The location is the hub of summer activity. Water park, arcades, food, miniature golf., ocean one side, bay the other. Primarily summer rentals, not just for the rich. August is the busiest time. Locals generally leave this time for the vacationers. Very different vibe Sept-May when the speed limit is raised and the traffic lights turned off. The crowds were enjoying their summer vacation…
I don’t think it’s Taylor’s fault. She didn’t choose for people to act this way. Although she’s the one who people are trying to see and stalk, she’s not the one making bad actions
Omg this guy dropping lines every few mins is hilarious “she came outside to see everything has changed” she’s not “out of the woods” yet. I just love him.
As a local, this was no secret… it was known, has been known. And at the Black Whale, upon her arrival, there were a few people. One with real professional cameras and not part of the ceremony. I would assume media. That was obviously told about the situation. So, someone either wants the fuss or a close insider leaked. Cause it was on sites with in minutes. In a town known for being a huge vacation spot. To blame kids to whom she is the second coming? The Disney adults is a different story. Normally there are dozens of famous people here that go unnoticed, most own homes here. But a summer wedding with the most famous person alive attending with her best known friend as the groom??? You’re not hiding.
Exactly. Plenty of celebrities vacation or have homes on LBI, and people, for the most part, do not bother them. They had to have known that if they invited her this would happen. She signed up for this life, so with incredibly high highs she gets from it, she has to be able to deal with the lows 🤷♀️ i was on LBI this weekend and knew she was there so i avoided Beach Haven on purpose but i don't blame her fans for wanting to see her.
The world could be so different and probably much better if ordinary people voices their concerns to local and state reps in crowds like this. Instead...focus is almost primarily on celebs. interesting
That's the problem with parasocial interactions. These people care about someone famous who doesn't even know they exist and make their life and identically revolving round the famous person. What's funny the famous person isn't going to change their lives for the better. They aren't going to be their friends no matter how much they wish it to be true. One of Taylor Swift ingenious marketing is fan believe she could be their friend. She doesn't have that kind of time and attention to give everyone that kind of friendship.
If Taylor is doing something personal like attending someone's wedding, fans should leave her alone. I mean, it's okay to look at her if you happen to be in the same area, but don't hound her. She needs to have some private life too just like everyone else.
My thoughts are that it is disgusting, stalker behavior for these people to gather in this way outside of this venue and shout her name no less while interrupting her good time and a private event, just because Taylor Swift was there. It is her good friend and colleague and is private. She loves her fans, but also needs some level of respect and privacy! This is not ok on any level and needs to stop! #stopstalkingTaylorSwift. #giveTaylorSwiftprivacy.
I feel like celebrities are in this continual contradiction of wanting to be successful and wanting fame but then not wanting their personal lives intruded on by the public
People should understand that TAYLOR DOESN'T WANT TO BE STALKED just because they wanted maximum 4 second of glips of taylor dosent mean THEY CAN FUCKING COME THERE RUIN EVERYONE'S NIGHT AND MAKE TAYLOR FEEL GUILTY FOR THEM , EVERYONE NEEDS PRIVACY ,if celebrities dont get enough privacy or personal time it leads them to have depression,anxiety and sometimes even $uc!d@l thougts , stalking is not normal these people can feel free to call themselves haters, stalkers and fake swifties no matter even if you know taylor since you were born , you cannot stalk her or anyone else #stopstalkingtaylor
i truly dont like seeing this event unfold but i think we, Taylor..her family & friends also got to realize that Taylormania is currently in full mode.. She has reached the hype that we have never seen before & maybe even higher than the mania surrounding the Beatles & MJ..becoz we are living in the internet age.. For every step she take around the globe, i can assure u that this WILL happen. Eventhough Taylor, everyone close to her & we dont like it, it could not be help. Yes she need her privacy, she deserved to have some private time but it is what it is 😲😲😲
I live in NY and have never, would never, sit outside her apartment. It’s creepy and weird. I’ve seen that infamous green door once (in passing), in my travels throughout the city (a long time ago, pre-pandemic). People be walking up and taking pictures on them and A DOOR. Anything that gives major stalker vibes is a HARD NO. So staking out a private event is also a not appropriate. Now I’ve camped out for GMA (✌️ times) & sones stuff like that (pop up stores and such)…you know the Swiftie/Taylor INTENDED events. People need to just 🛑
Sometimes, we should understand why she wasn't able to attend to some of the very important events/gatherings of her friends or relatives, because the attention will focus on her.
No that nots Taylor’s fault. People need to repect other people privacy the people who showed up are rude and not real swifties. The need to watch ms Americana
Unfortunately you don’t get to just disown people in any group if they do something problematic. They’re Swifties. The kind of Swifties who apparently aren’t respectful enough to realize that Taylor Swift is a real person, but Swifties nonetheless.
I love taylor but to me this is invading personal space...also this was Jack and his future wife's event this was thier moment and for her fans to be there was not ok....trust me I love taylor but this was too much
I believe that whole scene is ridiculous. This is why so many celebrities go into depression or worse because they aren’t given a single moments peace. So inappropriate.
So sorry that this happened to a private event...tjis reminds me of Beatlemania...they got tired of this mania..that they were better off in the studio.I hope that this calms down in the future. She deserves her space after all she is such a generous person..fans should show more respect.
Unfortunately one of these days she get a bullhorn and tell these people to respect her privacy. But I’m sure she doesn’t want to hurt their feelings and won’t do it.
This is another reason she was not invited to the wedding of one of her ex BF's (Conor Kennedy) family's wedding. But she crashed that wedding anyway and attention was all on her.
Taylor didn't cause this chaos - it's all these people filling the streets. It's ridiculous that so many individuals somehow think it's okay to mob a private event and block streets and chant a name; not only outside the rehearsal as seen here, but also sadly outside of the wedding. Smh....
I see this as Jack Antonoff riding off the coat-tails of Taylor Swift. this guy is a 'nobody', he gets his recognition being associated with Taylor Swift. Announce the wedding, its become a public event. Celebrities create their own chaos.
This is not okay! She does enough for her fans! RESPECT her and let her have her PERSONAL TIME! That is just HORRIBLE to show up to one of her good friends weddings and do something so stupid!! True Swifties care and RESPECT her PRIVACY and Personal space. Was it worth it? NO!!!!!! To see her get swept away by security! She not going to stop and take photos with people and sign autograph's and encourage people like this to continue on, and for sure not at her friends wedding!!!!!!!
It is what it is... You can't have Fortune in the biz without Fame... As long as they are not being violent, get used to it. TRANSLATION: Welcome to New York (ala Michael Jackson level fame status) - It's been waiting for you!
Hmm, not a Swiftie I guess??? :p "Welcome to New York" is a Taylor tune... * play on words here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PCCCHVHzFLw.html
Taylor didn't cause any chaos. People who claim to be her fans yet don't respect her privacy (not to mention Jack and Margaret's privacy) caused the chaos. You need to just stop. Can you just not step on her gown? You need to calm down.
No, DISRESPECTFUL STALKER FANS disrupted her dinner and caused chaos. She didn't. She has repeatedly said she hates this shit and it scares her and is uncomfortable. She is not responsible for what happened. Shitty fans are. Please title things honestly.
Erm, these people hoping to get a glimpse of her are probably the people who bought every album since 1989 and those before. TAYLOR SWIFT knows this and if she authentically wanted Privacy there are entrances and separate fire exits in all of her properties and the businesses and venues she plays at. She was even savvy enough to write about it. The economy of the UK and UNITED STATES needs a shrewd earner like TAYLOR SWIFT to turn the economies around x!
Nah Taylor didn’t cause chaos, those disgusting people did that. Like people need to chill out, poor Taylor and the poor couple. Can’t they have some privacy? Gross
For the Love of God I’m so sick of hearing about Taylor Swift! Really what did they expect it’s ridiculous! I grew up in the 70s sorry but don’t think she is all that great..Stevie Nicks now that’s a legend
I feel like she brings a lot of this. There are other super famous people who find a way to keep low profiles in public. You never see them going in or out of places, a lot of times you never know they were at an event until pictures pop up online. I understand that it's not normal, but that is her life. She could always stop the constant self promotion and go live in a mansion in Switzerland or something.
I agree. I have been going to Long Beach Island since i was a baby. I was there this weekend but avoided the area she was in on purpose. There are plenty of celebrities who vacation and have vacation homes on LBI and nobody bothers them. Taylor chose this life so with all of the perks of fame she has to deal with the downside of it too 🤷♀️
I understand that this is somewhat disturbing, but Taylor puts out a lot of promotion for her music and concerts on social media. She built her career on this. She has made $700,000,000. Of course she draws a crowd everywhere she goes. It isn’t a normal existence, but how can she have a normal existence? She has made more money than she will ever need so she could walk away from the music industry and live a quieter life.
The Weeknd and Billie Eilish promote just as much, but you don't see people gathering outside where they are frequenting or personally attending just to see them. She held a very quiet life during the lockdowns a couple years ago just because nobody was able to go out without risk. I shouldn't feel bad for her, but I feel bad that her own safety and others are breached when people spot her out and about and disclose of her immediate location.
She can have a normal existence if people respected her personal life. She's at a private event for a friend. This isn't a concert. She's just a person. People need to go home. Just because someone buys a copy of their work, it does not entitle them to that person's personal life. I don't see people mobbing Bill Gates because they own an Xbox console or Windows software. When he does have a crowd, it's purely business related. This however with Taylor is stalking.
No matter how famous someone is its still disrespectful specially at someones wedding rehearsal. Also those people are usuallly the people who complain she would be rude by not paying them any attention
@@SpiritHawk7 It happened with the Beatles, David Cassidy, etc. I get what you are saying, but when you have fame of this magnitude it will happen. Social media has removed the concept of privacy. Right or wrong.
Y’all are delusional. I know damn well if anyone of you were there you would have joined right along with the crowd. All over someone that can’t sing 😂
I am sure that this couple knew what it was going to be like to when they invited Taylor! So, tough pancakes! They have to deal with it! I have NO sympathy for them. Peace.
