“Superstar pop singer Taylor Swift is terrified that Kim Kardashian will take her boyfriend Travis Kelce!” is a terrifying statement. – The true reason Taylor Swift says she’s not going to the Met Gala this year is because Kim is confirmed to be attending, contrary to what fans had thought she would do with Travis Kelce…

Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce were reportedly going to skip this year’s Met Gala earlier this month.

Although the move may puzzle some fans — who expected the 34-year-old pop superstar to take a victory lap after early legs of her massively profitable Eras Tour, its accompanying blockbuster concert film and her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department — Taylor is skipping the high-fashion event for a simpler reason: her conflicting tour schedule.

The 2024 Met Gala is scheduled to go forward on May 6, but Taylor is on the hook for her next international Eras Tour performance in Paris on May 9, making it nearly impossible for her to be prepared if she also attended fashion’s biggest night.

TMZ reported earlier in April that Taylor and Travis, 34, would be skipping the prestigious event, though neither have spoken about the reason for their decision to sit it out.

Taylor — who recently appeared to shut down rumors of a feud between herself and squad member Brittany Mahomes — and Travis both reportedly received individual invitations to the Met Gala, indicating that the fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute was hoping they would grace its iconic red-carpeted stairs.
