Taylor Swift fans have been the subject of scrutiny after the star was swarmed by them during a recent outing.
According to reports, the 33-year-old was spotted at the Black Whale Bar & Fish House in Beach Haven in New Jersey on Friday for Jack Antonoff’s rehearsal dinner ahead of his wedding on Saturday to his long-time love, Margaret Qualley.
What was supposed to be an intimate dinner between close friends turned into a swarm of Swifties huddling around outside of the venue until police were called to the area to break it up.
After footage of the incident was posted to social media, it immediately went viral with many slamming the fans for turning up to ruin the night for everyone.
TikTok user Tori, AKA @toris.intel shared some paparazzi footage of the star leaving the Long Beach restaurant before going on a rant about how "weird" the entire fiasco was.
"This is not the look of a woman who is happy to see y’all," she told her followers. "The audacity meter is beyond."
Tori went on to say Swift looked "scared" and called the scenes disrespectful to the singer, Antonoff, and "everybody at that event."
"To put her and him [Antonoff] and their friendship in this situation is really wild to me," she continued. "I speak about celebrities and pop culture every day on this account, but this is just – I can't even wrap my head around the fact of 'I'm going to go and sit outside of the venue of a private event for hours waiting for Taylor Swift.'"
In the comments, other TikTokers agreed.
"This HAS to be scary for her," wrote one user while another added: "It’s so wildly creepy and psychotic."
A third also described the behavior displayed by fans as "barbaric."
"This is barbaric behavior" they said. "I’ve been a Taylor fan for almost 14 years now and we have ALWAYS given Taylor her privacy and space."
And this user suggested that someone "cancel their eras tour tickets", to which Tori responded that they should be "exiled."
The following day, Swift attended her friend's wedding wearing a pale blue summer dress with a corset-style bodice. The details of the outfit were stunning, with a satin ribbon at her waist as well as a ruffled hem.
The 'Bad Blood' singer also kept her hair down by her shoulders and paired the look with her iconic red lip - I mean, what else would we expect?
Elle reported that there were several other celebrity guests who were in attendance at the ceremony, including Lana Del Rey, Channing Tatum, and Zoë Kravitz, who Swift was seen engaging with throughout.
The star ended up leaving the event around 1:20AM with British model Cara Delevingne as per a report by Page Six, who also added that Swift's ex Matty Healy's 1975 bandmate George Daniel was also spotted there, but there was no bad blood between the two given the awkward circumstances.
Healy, who dated the Grammy-award-winning singer for a month earlier this year, wasn’t in attendance at the wedding.
