Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reportedly been invited to the Met Gala this 12 months but won't be attending, meaning the world's biggest celebrity fashion night will lose a few of its star power – in addition to the potential to supply a setting for a top-notch show. List showdown between Swift and Kim Kardashian, her longtime nemesis who happens to be a daily on the event.
TMZ reported Friday that Swift and Kelce opted out of walking the Met Gala red carpet together on May 6, with the Grammy winner and NFL star each saying “no” to their commitments. TMZ said Swift may skip her seventh appearance on the star-studded bash in New York City because she is restarting her Eras Tour in Paris a number of days later.
Still, the timing of the news of the reported Met Gala rejection is interesting, because it comes on the identical day that everybody on the planet is talking in regards to the release of their recent blockbuster album, The Tortured Poets Department. Additionally, many Swift fans are focused on the song “thanK you aIMee,” which appears to be a crushing defeat against Kardashian. In fact, the capital letters within the title of the song spell out the name “Kim.”
It might just be a coincidence that Swift's Met Gala news comes on the identical day as the discharge of “TTPD.” On the opposite hand, it's fair to wonder if the “Anti-Hero” singer and her boyfriend selected to not attend the gala, partly because she expected Kardashian to be there. While the guest list for the gala is kept secret To date, the influencer and reality TV star has attended each of the last 10 Met Galas since 2013, mostly along with her ex-husband Kanye West.
By the way in which, 2016 was the last 12 months Swift attended the Met Gala. According to Swift, it was also the identical 12 months that Kardashian committed vicious snake-themed cyberbullying attacks that just about ended her profession. It's comprehensible that Swift doesn't wish to be at the identical event as Kardashian and should deal along with her or risk speculation about whether the 2 women had to sit down far apart at dinner or whether or not they had a tense encounter in the women' room.
Swift's recent song “thanK you aIMee” actually takes no prisoners, alluding to Kardashian's exploits in 2016 by portraying her as a “bronze, tanned” mean highschool girl who threw “punches,” “stomped.” Swift's grave and spread gossip that caused her “searing pain.” But the “Shake It Off” singer also asserts within the song that the ordeal has strengthened her resolve to “write a thousand songs that you find uncool” and “build a legacy that you can't undo.”
The release of “thanK you aIMee” on Friday caused a significant backlash on Kardashian's social media as Swifties heavily trolled the fact TV star. Page Six and other outlets reported. On Kardashians latest Instagram postwith a photograph of her on a beach vacation with sisters Kourtney and Khloe, the comments section was flooded with “Thanks Aimee” and “Hey Aimee” messages.
The Daily Mail reported that Swift “humiliated” Kardashian along with her “diss track.” The song actually reminded the world of the feud that erupted when Kardashian was still married to the controversial West and appeared willing to air a few of his grievances. Kardashian called Swift a “snake” online and accused the singer of lying when she said she didn't allow the rapper to write down vulgar lyrics about her in his song “Famous.”
Kardashian's accusations sparked a web based rage against Swift, stuffed with snake memes and emojis. The ensuing scandal felt like “a career death,” Swift said in an interview with Time in December, when she was named the magazine's Person of the Year. “Make no mistake – my career has been taken away from me.”
Again, it shouldn’t be confirmed whether Kardashian shall be on the guest list for this 12 months's Met Gala, organized by Vogue magazine and happening on the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Vogue reported. But it's hard to assume the famously attention-grabbing Kardashian not getting an interview or passing up one other probability to bring a few of the biggest names in fashion and entertainment like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Rihanna into the identical company. This 12 months's hosts are Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth.
And yes, Swift might skip the gala because she must be in Paris a number of nights later for a concert. On the opposite hand, she has a non-public jet and never lets long distances stop her from going somewhere, including when she flew from Tokyo to Las Vegas in February to observe Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl.
Of course, it should be disappointing for Anna Wintour, Vogue's editor-in-chief, who’s overseeing the gala, that Swift and Kelce aren't walking the gala's red carpet. Currently, Swift is arguably the world's most influential figure in culture and entertainment – far eclipsing Kardashian in that regard. Swift and Kelce have also grow to be a once-in-a-generation power couple together. But Wintour has been desirous to exhibit Kardashian on the gala for the past 10 years. Unfortunately for Wintour, if Kardashian's presence is a reason Swift declined an invite, then this 12 months's gala shall be that much less interesting.
