    success: function (data) {                  
        for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++){
            entireTags.push(data[i]);

Try to place console.log after the for loop and check whats the values you are getting in the array "entireTags"

 for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++){
        entireTags.push(data[i]);
    }
  console.log(entireTags);
