Why won’t Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce be attending the Met Gala?

Swift and Kelce skip Gala for separate reasons

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have decided to skip out on the highly anticipated Met Gala, opting to pass on the glitz and glamour of fashion’s biggest night. According to sources with direct knowledge, both the Grammy winner and NFL superstar declined their individual invitations to the star-studded event.

“It’s a no from me,” said Taylor and Travis, as they RSVP’d “no” to the celeb-packed evening. One of the reasons for Taylor’s absence is her upcoming ‘Eras’ tour, which kicks off in Paris during the same week as the Met Gala. With rehearsals and preparations for her tour underway, it’s understandable why she won’t be able to grace the red carpet at the prestigious event.

As for Travis, the reason for his decision remains unclear. However, it’s reasonable to assume that his choice to decline the invitation may be influenced by Taylor’s absence.

Although their relationship has been public, the duo has yet to make a joint appearance at premieres or events such as the Met Gala. The closest they came to a public outing was when they attended Madonna’s Oscars after-party, keeping a low profile upon their arrival.

Their absence at Met Gala raises eyebrows

Despite their absence at the Met Gala, Taylor and Travis have not shied away from attending high-profile events together. They were spotted front and center at Coachella weekend 1, where they were seen cuddling up during Ice Spice’s set and supporting Taylor’s frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff as he performed with his band, Bleachers.

While the pair may be missing from the Met Gala, the event will still be graced by a plethora of A-listers. This year’s co-chairs include Zendaya, Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, and Jennifer Lopez, ensuring that the night will not be lacking in star power.

In the midst of a parade of well-dressed celebrities at the Met Gala, Taylor and Travis are opting to sit this one out. As they say in Hollywood, “Let them eat cake.”

This year offers a multitude of streaming choices, whether you prefer desktop, YouTube, or social platforms. If you’re eager to catch all the highlights of the Met Gala 2024, rest assured, we have you covered. The live stream kicks off at 6:00 p.m. ET on Monday, May 6th.
