Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce offered heartbreaking responses to their respective Met Gala invitations, confirming their absence on fashion’s biggest night for their long-awaited red carpet debut. The internet has been ablaze with excitement hoping for a glimpse of Hollywood’s biggest couple at the 2024 Met Gala on May 6. News outlets earlier revealed that both Taylor and Travis have their names on the guest list. With the duo having lots of free time on their hands lately, their presence at the event seemed like a done deal. However, it turns out they aren’t exactly MET Gala enthusiasts, to the heartbreak of hopeful fans.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Won’t Attend the MET Gala
TMZ reported that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce plan to pass on the opportunity to attend the Met Gala this year. Sources, who confirmed that the couple did receive separate invitations to grace the red carpet on fashion’s biggest night, told the outlet that they both “RSVP’d ‘no'” becoming official Met Gala Snobs.
While the couple have enjoyed some free time to explore their romance these past weeks, the timing of the Met Gala isn’t so convenient for them, especially with Taylor Swift resuming her Eras tour that same week in Europe. The European shows commence at Paris La Défense Arena on Thursday, May 9, and run through May 12. Travis Kelce’s reason for snubbing the upcoming event remains unclear. However, his decision may have everything to do with his girlfriend’s impending absence.
The news of their Met Gala snub would be heartbreaking to many hoping to watch Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce officially walk the red carpet together. The couple evaded their chance to walk the red carpet at the Oscars last month, eventually making a lowkey arrival at Madonna’s Oscars after-party. Even then, they managed to avoid walking the photo area.
Of course, there would be more chances to grace the red carpet together. Until then, Swifties can only hold on to the loved-up photos of the duo circulating the internet from their PDA-filled escapades.
