The 2024 Met Gala, a highly anticipated event, is poised to bring back the glitz and glamour. However, fans of Taylor Swift, known as Swifties, will have to hold their breath a little longer to see their favorite star in a stunningly classic dress at the event.
Despite earlier reports suggesting that the Lovers singer would grace the event with her presence alongside her partner, Travis Kelce, she has decided to step out from the year’s grandest affair.
As per the reports, she is stepping out of the 2024 Met Gala because of her highly anticipated Eras Tour, which will resume on May 9 in Paris. As far as the Met Gala is concerned, it is scheduled to take place on May 6, just a few days before Taylor Swift’s next leg of Eras Tour begins in Europe.
It won’t be easy for the singer to attend both significant events, which only adds to the excitement and anticipation for her upcoming tour. Well, Taylor recently dropped a few rehearsal videos highlighting her and her team’s hard work and determination.
In fact, the Bad Blood singer also emphasized her excitement about resuming the tour as soon as possible. Thus, considering this, it seems like she wouldn’t spend time attending the Met Gala. However, this won’t be the first time she has skipped the event. According to reports, Taylor Swift skipped last year’s Met Gala as well for the Nashville leg of the Eras Tour.
Since Swift won’t attend this year’s Met Gala, her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, won’t either. It would have marked his first Met Gala moment with Taylor Swift. The Blank Space singer has attended the event six times, but it will be Kelce’s debut.
Unfortunately, he will miss a remarkable event, as this year’s theme is based on the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit. It will feature almost 250 items, including an 1877 Charles Frederick Worth silk satin ball gown. That will indeed become a revisit to history.
Not only this, the dress code is also themed “The Garden of Time” and inspired by the 1962 short story by J.G. Ballard of the same name. That will prominently focus on living beings’ art, beauty, and leisure. While Swifties will miss the chance to see Taylor Swift donning a classic Cinderella-esque dress, the singer has already attended several versions of such kind fashion at the event.
