Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Skip the 2025 Met Gala: Why Swifties Are Overjoyed and Celebrating Their Love

May 6, 2025

On May 5, 2025, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City hosted the annual Met Gala, a star-studded event celebrating the Costume Institute’s exhibition, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” While the red carpet dazzled with bold fashion statements from co-chairs like A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, and Pharrell Williams, one high-profile couple was notably absent: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. For Swifties, the decision by the pop superstar and her NFL beau to skip the 2025 Met Gala has sparked a wave of jubilation, fueled by a mix of superstition, nostalgia, and admiration for the couple’s grounded romance. From dodging the infamous “Met Gala Curse” to prioritizing their private bond, here’s why fans are thrilled that Taylor and Travis stayed away from fashion’s biggest night.

The “Met Gala Curse”: A Swiftie Superstition

For years, fans have whispered about the so-called “Met Gala Curse,” a tongue-in-cheek theory that couples who attend the event together often face relationship turmoil soon after. The evidence? A long list of celebrity pairs who walked the Met Gala red carpet only to part ways later, including:

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez (2017–2019, split 2021)

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd (2017, split 2017)

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth (2019, split 2019)

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson (2022, split 2022)

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston (met in 2016, split 2016)

Swifties, ever protective of Taylor Swift’s happiness, see the couple’s absence from the 2025 Met Gala as a deliberate dodge of this perceived jinx. Posts on X capture the sentiment, with one fan tweeting, “Taylor knows the Met Gala curse is real—keeping Travis far away was the ultimate power move!” Another wrote, “No Met Gala, no breakup drama. Taylor and Travis are playing 4D chess with their love.” For fans, the decision to skip the event feels like a safeguard for a relationship they’ve championed since it went public in September 2023.

Taylor’s Complicated Met Gala History

Taylor Swift’s history with the Met Gala adds another layer to Swifties’ relief. Her last appearance at the event was in 2016, a year that marked a turning point in her personal life. That night, Swift, then dating DJ Calvin Harris, danced with actor Tom Hiddleston, sparking a whirlwind romance that became tabloid fodder. The fallout—her breakup with Harris, a brief fling with Hiddleston, and the eventual start of her six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn—left an indelible mark on her discography. Songs like “Getaway Car” and “Dress” from her 2017 album Reputation are widely believed to reference the chaotic emotions of that period.

For Swifties, the 2016 Met Gala represents a time of heartbreak and public scrutiny for their idol. The idea of Swift returning to the event, especially with Travis Kelce, stirs mixed feelings.
