Met Gala 2024: Anna Wintour’s Highly Dramatic Response Regarding Taylor Swift’s Potential Appearance at Fashion’s Pinnacle Event

Anna Wintour has reignited speculation that Taylor Swift could be in attendance at this year’s Met Gala, an annual fundraising event known as ‘fashion’s biggest night out.’

Jenna Bush Hager conducted a face-to-face interview with Vogue’s global editorial director, and later confirmed to her Today cohosts that she had asked the 74-year-old whether or not Taylor, 34, would be walking the famous steps on Monday evening.

Recalling how the exchange went down, Jenna, 42, referred to her eldest daughter and said: ‘I also had to ask, because Mila Hager asked if Taylor was gonna be there, and she (Anna) said, “I hope she comes and enjoys the exhibit.”

‘So that could be yes, that could be no, which is what the reports are sort of saying,’ Jenna added, with cohosts Hoda KotbSavannah Guthrie, Sheinelle Jones, and Craig Melvin appearing to be very intrigued.

‘And your accent is on point,’ Hoda, 59, joked as Sheinelle, 46, – who is attending the Met Gala on Monday evening – admitted: ‘You just made me excited.’

Elsewhere in the exclusive interview, Jenna asked Anna to confirm whether or not itt was true that chives, onion and garlic had been banned from the menu on the star-studded night.

‘Those are three things I’m not particularly fond of, and so yes, that’s true,’ she replied with a grin on her face.

Anna also admitted that there may have been some ‘confusion’ when it came to this year’s theme, which was Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, and said that this year’s exhibition broke her ‘cardinal rule.’

‘We came up with the title Sleeping Beauties. It’s wonderful, it’s poetic, its romantic, but actually it could be many, many things,’ she told Jenna.

That, paired with the Garden of Time dress code, she said, may have caused mixed signals.

‘I fear we have unleashed a lot of confusion out there for which I deeply apologize,’ she added.

When asked how she feels in the days leading up to the Met Gala, Anna revealed: ‘It’s relatively quiet. Everything is in the details. We plan these exhibitions in the evening so far in advance that if we’re not relatively calm in this point, we’re in big, big trouble.’

Last week it was reported that Taylor and her football player boyfriend, Travis Kelce, wouldn’t be attending this year’s gala.

The Shake It Off hitmaker, who recently released her new album The Tortured Poets Department, is thought to be skipping the high-fashion event for a simpler reason: her conflicting tour schedule.

Instead, Taylor will be preparing to continue her highly successful Eras Tour, which will see her perform at the Paris La Défense Arena on Thursday, May 9.

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