Taylor Swift Fans Call Out Crowd For Restaurant Stakeout: What Does She Think About Her Fame, Privacy?

Taylor Swift is constantly bombarded with fans and paparazzi wherever she goes, but this issue has come to a head over the weekend.

According to reports, the "Anti-Hero" singer was met with a large crowd outside the venues of Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley's wedding and rehearsal dinner.

Fans of the singer were appalled and disgusted by the stalker-like behavior other fans have exhibited. The crowd stayed outside the venues for the entirety of the events, as if it were some kind of stakeout.

Local authorities were even called to the restaurant because they were chanting "Taylor" so loudly, and to avoid any possible conflicts or anyone swarming the singer.

Taylor Swift Petrified Of Fans?

The videos of the crowd going wild outside Antonoff and Qualley's wedding and rehearsal dinner were met with criticisms from other fans, who described the crowd as "weirdo behavior."

According to reports, Swift did not seem to be glad to see the huge crowd outside waiting for her. Despite her smiles and waves, some netizens claimed that Swift looked "scared."

A TikTok user, @Toris.Intel, said: "This is not the look of a woman who is happy to see y'all [...] "The audacity meter is beyond."

She also called out the para-social relationship between celebrities and their fans, "Just insanely above and beyond these para-social relationships have gone with celebrities."

Fans also sympathized with the singer, who cannot go about running errands or hanging out with friends without being constantly scrutinized.

"It must be extremely isolating to be famous. I can't imagine being on taylor swift's level of fame and being unable to just attend a close friend's wedding. I hope that people will realize that she's a regular human being and deserves e little privacy," a fan wrote.
