Did Taylor Swift Go to 2024 Met Gala? Here’s the Truth

You’ll have to wait longer than a fortnight for Taylor Swift’s Met Gala return.

The “Cruel Summer” singer skipped this year’s event in New York City to prepare for the European leg of her sold-out Eras Tour, E! News confirms.

The fundraiser—which is themed around the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s new “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit, with an official “Garden of Time” dress code—took place on May 6, just three days before Taylor is scheduled to hit the stage at the Paris La Défense Arena in France.

As for her boyfriend Travis Kelce? He appeared to sit it out as well, with TMZ reporting last week that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has RSVP’d “no” on his invitation to the 2024 bash, co-chaired by Zendaya, Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez and Chris Hemsworth. See all the stars who did step out on the red carpet here—including Taylor’s pals Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Ed Sheeran and Nicki Minaj.

Still, Taylor is very familiar with the Met Gala. After all, she’s attended six previous iterations of fashion’s biggest night, even co-chairing the 2016 version celebrating the “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” exhibition.
