Taylor Swift’s team met with police ahead of Jack Antonoff’s wedding in New Jersey in preparation for a crowd of fans keen to get a glimpse of the singer.
Antonoff, 39, married actress Margaret Qualley, 28, in the picturesque seaside town of Beach Haven on Saturday – with Antonoff’s pal and partner Swift, 33, leading the parade of celebrity guests.
Beach Haven Police Chief James Markoski told TMZ the singer and producer’s security team met with the department two weeks before the wedding.
It was also announced that Antonoff’s wedding planner had paid for three additional officers to be on duty during the event.
Two spectator areas were set up for fans outside of the wedding ceremony on Long Beach Island – and police closed three intersections to prevent vehicles from getting near the fans.

Markoski told outlet fans that they showed up at 2 p.m. and left around 1:30 a.m. Adding that he was expecting “a lot worse,” he said, “I couldn’t believe how calm it was.”
Taylor joined Lana Del Rey and Cara Delevingne at the star-studded wedding over the weekend.
Jack and Margaret first began dating in August 2021 and got engaged less than a year later in May 2022, setting the stage for their star-studded wedding Saturday at Parker’s Garage & Oyster Saloon in Beach Haven.
The wedding has proved to be a hectic affair since the guests arrived, and Taylor fled the rehearsal dinner venue on Friday night after hundreds of Swifties poured into the street outside.
So many fans flocked to the Black Whale Bar & Fish House just to catch a glimpse of their idol that the road was closed and police arrived to prevent the commotion from spiraling out of control.
On Saturday, Margaret – who caused a stir as a member of the Manson family in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood – opted for understated elegance in her bias-cut wedding dress.
Jack, whose dating history also includes girls impresaria Lena Dunham, also opted for a classy-stylish look, walking down the aisle in a black tuxedo and matching tie.
Earlier this month, Swift performed the final concert of the first US leg of her Eras Tour at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium.
The singer, whose South American tour kicks off August 24 in Mexico City, wowed in a purple sequin dress and flat leather boots as she marked 53 dates on the record-breaking tour.
