SCHELLENGERS LANDING — Yes, that was singer Taylor Swift dining at the Lobster House, Tue., Dec. 27 about 7 p.m.
Swift’s dinner at the Lobster House has become the talk of the town.
Lobster House Restaurant Manager Chris Krauss said fellow diners did not bother Swift for autographs.
“Everything was totally cool, she came in like an average person,” he said. “We maintain professionalism here at the Lobster House.”
“She was very relaxed, very laid back,” he continued.
Krauss said he believed her parents own a house in Avalon.
Swift was also spotted in Teabury Antiques in Swainton, Wed. Dec. 28 and Cape May Wicker. She was described as “tall and very nice.”
Additional reports from readers placed Swift at Uncle Bill’s Pancake House in Avalon having breakfast Dec. 28 and stopping in Capt. Scraps Attic antique store in Seaville about 3 p.m.
Brian Corbett, of the Original Fudge Kitchen, posted a photo on the Herald’s Facebook page of a guitar pick Swift gave him after making a purchase.
In the end, it seemed Swift did what many of us do, ate in restaurants, bought fudge and shopped along the Route 9 corridor of stores. Everyone who encountered her had kind words to say.
Swift, 22, was named Woman of the Year by Billboard Magazine, a music industry trade magazine. Her third album, “Speak Now,” has been nominated for Best Country Album and “Mean” has been nominated for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance.
She will appear on the 2012 Grammy Awards, which are scheduled to air Feb. 12 on CBS.
Swift begins a concert tour of Australia and New Zealand in March.
