There was a Taylor Swift takeover on the Jersey Shore Friday night.

Fresh off the U.S. leg of her record-shattering Eras Tour, 33-year-old Swift flitted to Long Beach Island to celebrate the upcoming wedding of her longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, and 28-year-old actress Margaret Qualley, TMZ reported.

Swift, donning an black skirt set and a casual up-do, was spotted at the Black Whale Restaurant in Beach Haven alongside pals Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz. The celeb-packed rehearsal dinner, which also included singer Lana Del Rey on its guest list, drew hundreds of delighted fans to the area.

Photos and video shared online show Swift beaming outside the New Jersey bar and waving at her scores of Swifties, who couldn’t help but respond with shouts and screams of excitement. And while local police had been prepared for the presence of a 12-time Grammy winner and her pals, they still struggled to contain the giddy fans.

The horde was enough to snarl traffic and ultimately triggered the shutdown of at least one major road in the area, according to TMZ.

Antonoff and Qualley, who are set to exchange vows on Saturday, were first linked back in August 2021, when they were spotted kissing on a date in New York City. The couple announced their engagement the following year at Cannes, where Qualley showed off her dazzling diamond ring.

Swift’s collaborations with Antonoff date back even further. They first co-wrote and co-produced “Sweeter Than Fiction” for the “One Chance“ soundtrack in October 2013. A year later, Swift enlisted the Bleachers lead singer to produce several songs on “1989,” which marked her first official foray into pop.

Antonoff has since gone on to co-write and co-produce a series of Swift songs while Qualley — daughter of Andie MacDowell and Paul J. Qualley — is best known for appearing in Netflix miniseries “The Maid” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”
