Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reportedly declined invitations to attend the Met Gala 2024 on May 6, with sources revealing that they both RSVP’d ‘no’. Swift, who is set to resume her Eras Tour in Paris on May 9, may have a conflict with the event, although she has previously made quick trips around the world for other engagements. Kelce, on the other hand, has confirmed his plans to travel to see Swift perform in Paris and London.
Although representatives for Swift and Kelce did not respond to requests for comment, Kelce has never attended the annual Met Gala benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, while Swift has made several appearances in the past. Swift made her Met Gala debut in 2008 and has since rocked different looks at the event in 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2014. In 2016, she served as a co-chair for the event and sported an edgy Louis Vuitton outfit for the “Manus x Machina” theme.
Despite their decision to skip the event, fans were hoping to see Swift and Kelce make an appearance together at the Met Gala. The couple went public with their relationship in September 2023, and have since been seen together multiple times, sharing PDA and traveling together. While Swift has not returned to the Met Gala since 2016, sources suggest that rumored enemies Kim Kardashian and Olivia Rodrigo, as well as Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, and co-hosts Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, and Zendaya are expected to be in attendance.
The reasons for Swift and Kelce’s decision to not attend the Met Gala are unknown, but their presence at the event would have certainly caused a stir on the red carpet. Swift has previously attended the event multiple times, showcasing different fashion looks each year. While Swift has not appeared at the Met Gala since her memorable 2016 appearance, she has also never walked a red carpet with any of her boyfriends. However, fans were hopeful that she would break that pattern with Kelce.
Swift and Kelce’s relationship has been a topic of interest since they went public in 2023, and their decision to skip the Met Gala has added to the speculation. Kelce has expressed his excitement about seeing Swift perform in Paris and London, indicating that her upcoming shows are not to be missed. While the couple may not be attending the Met Gala, they continue to enjoy their relationship publicly and have been seen enjoying each other’s company at various events. Despite their absence, the Met Gala is expected to draw a star-studded guest list, with notable names like Kim Kardashian, Olivia Rodrigo, Rihanna, and others rumored to be in attendance.
