I can’t imagine anything more chaotic than a Taylor Swift Met Gala in 2024, except for maybe a Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Met Gala. Because let’s face it, if Swift had shown up at the event, the night would have inevitably become all about her.
After Swift, 34, and her NFL boyfriend, 33, made a surprise appearance at Coachella last month, many wondered if the they were gearing up to make their splashy red-carpet debut on the Met steps on Monday, May 6—sort of as Swift’s protege Sabrina Carpenter and her new boyfriend, Barry Keoghan, did. After all, Swift hadn’t attended the California music festival since 2016, the same year that marked her last appearance at the Met Gala.
This year’s gala took place three days before Swift resumes the Eras Tour in Paris and well before Kelce has to report to NFL training camp in July, so, technically speaking, it was doable. (This is the same woman who flew directly from a show in Tokyo to Las Vegas to cheer on Kelce at the Super Bowl, after all.)
That said, back on April 30 People reported that Swift would be sitting this one out, choosing instead to focus on the next leg of her Eras Tour. And, as usual, they were right.
Many fans anticipate that she’ll be introducing several new songs to her lineup from The Tortured Poets Department, the double album she dropped on April 19, and such a big changeup is probably requiring extra rehearsals. I mean, it makes sense!
