Taylor Swift's RSVP to the 2024 Met Gala May Have Just Changed

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

As the fashion world gears up for the Met Gala, aka the Oscars of fashion, all eyes are on who will be attending this year’s lavish event, including current “it couple” Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

Amidst swirling speculations, Page Six has reported that Swift will indeed be gracing the red carpet come early May. Rumors had persisted for months regarding whether Swift and Kelce, both 34, would attend, with earlier reports from TMZ suggesting both had declined their invitations.

The star-studded event is set for May 6, conveniently fitting into the pop star’s schedule, as her global Eras Tour does not resume until May 9 in Paris. This will mark Swift’s seventh appearance at the gala, where she has previously showcased looks from top designers like Louis Vuitton, Oscar de la Renta, and J. Mendel.

The Met Gala, hosted by Vogue’s Anna Wintour and the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, promises a gathering of high-profile celebrities, per usual. This year’s confirmed guests include Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, and Gisele Bündchen, who might attend with her new partner, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.

While it remains unclear if Kelce will join Swift for this high-profile event, the couple has not shied away from other public outings together. Recently, following the release of Swift’s album, The Tortured Poets Department, the duo was spotted at Madeo Ristorante in West Hollywood. The pair, who first caught the public’s attention in July 2023 after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gifted Swift a friendship bracelet, enjoyed a cozy dinner clad in what could be seen as a nod to the album’s theme colors—Swift in a black top and Kelce in a white tee.

The couple also enjoyed a relaxing vacation in California’s Carmel-by-the-Sea, where they joined another celebrity duo, Bradley Cooper and Swift’s longtime friend Gigi Hadid. The trip was confirmed by Travis’ mom, Donna Kelce, during her appearance at the QVC Age of Possibility summit. She mentioned that her son had sent her a photo from their getaway, showing off the fun the couple was having on their trip.
