Taylor Swift will attend Vogue’s Met Gala, but it’s unclear if Travis Kelce will join her on red carpet: sources
With this year’s Met Gala just a week away, Page Six has exclusively learned that Taylor Swift will walk the red carpet on fashion’s biggest night, an insider tells Page Six.
There has been speculation for months over whether the “Shake It Off” singer and her boyfriend — Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce — will attend the event known as the Oscars of fashion.
TMZ recently reported that both had received invites, but claimed the couple had both RSVP’d no.

Our source tells us that Swift will indeed be attending the lavish event.
But there is no word yet on whether Kelce will accompany her.
The gala customarily falls on the first Monday in May, and will take place on May 6 this year. The pop star, who just dropped the smash album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” doesn’t pick up her global “Eras” tour until May 9 in Paris, France.
Swift has attended the Met Gala six times before, rocking designers including Louis Vuitton, Oscar de la Renta, J. Mendel and Badgley Mischka.
She first climbed the iconic museum steps in 2008 for the event, and her last appearance was in 2018.

As previously reported by Page Six, other A-listers who’ve made the list for the exclusive event this year — as thrown by Vogue’s Anna Wintour and the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in NYC — include Rihanna, Kendall Jenner and Gisele Bündchen, who could potentially bring her new boyfriend, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.
Newcomers who’ve received the party’s gilded invites include “Killers of the Flower Moon” star Lily Gladstone and “The Bear” actress Ayo Edebiri, we hear.
Olivia Rodrigo, Uma Thurman, Sarah Paulson and Met Gala regular Cara Delevingne will also be there, along with “Saltburn” hunk Barry Keoghan.

The event’s co-chairs this year include Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez.
Vogue declined to comment on the guest list.
TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, spent millions to sponsor the event this year, and CEO Shou Chew is set to walk the red carpet just days after President Biden signed a bill into law to either ban the Chinese social media platform or force its sale.

As preparation kicks in to high gear for the Vogue event, Conde Nast union members last week picketed outside Wintour’s house in the West Village, papering the neighborhood with fliers that read, “Anna wears Prada, workers get nada.”
We hear the union hope to have a resolution before the event next week.
