After reaching previously unimaginable heights of popularity following the release of her 1989 album, Taylor Swift has found herself in a bit of a slump as of late.
Part of the problem is that her two latest singles “Look What You Made Me Do” and the confusingly titled “…Ready For It?” have met with less than enthusiastic responses from fans and critics.
Now, Taylor is facing yet another PR headache, but this one has nothing to do with her celebrity feuds or the quality of her music.
That’s Swifty attending the wedding of her best friend, Abigail Anderson.
Fans know Abigail as the subject of Taylor’s song “Fifteen,” as well as the singer’s frequent defender in high-profile beefs.
Obviously, Taylor was Abigail’s maid of honor, and she did her best not to upstage the bride.
Unfortunately, no matter where Taylor Swift goes, she’s still Taylor Swift.
So throngs of fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the singer, and as you can see in the clip above, they were royally pissed when she was hidden from public view.
It was an unfortunate scene, but the silver lining is that there’s also a teachable moment here.
As a celebrity gossip site, we here at THG are no strangers to obsessing over celebrities.
It’s kind of our thing.
That said, it’s important to bear in mind that even the biggest names in show business are entitled to moments of privacy.
And the civilians in their lives definitely have the right to step away from the public eye whenever they choose.
Here’s a good rule of thumb:
If a celeb is engaged in the type of event that would earn a mention in the local paper for a non-famous plebe such as yourself (think births, weddings, funerals), then don’t show up to creepily try to share the moment with them.
It’s not remotely cool.
Of course, Abigail’s wedding wasn’t completely spoiled by overzealous stans.
Check out the clip below for a few raunchy seconds from Taylor’s maid of honor toast.
It sounds like she’s telling a story about Abigail and her new husband boning in a public bathroom.
Abby’s grandmother is probably still trying to shake that one off.
