Is Taylor Swift going to the Met Gala 2022?
Taylor Swifthas been a Met Gala staple in recent years, and with good reason: When she co-chaired the Met Gala in 2016, she rocked a platinum bob, dark plum lipstick and a custom Louis Vuitton dress is silver and black with black knee-high strappy sandals for the “Manus x Machina” theme. She famously had a dance-off with ex Tom Hiddlestonat the 2016 Met Gala—while she was still in a relationship with Calvin Harris—which led to a very public, if short-lived, romance with the Lokistar. Relive the moment below! Some Swifties also speculate that she met her current beau Joe Alwynat the 2016 Met Gala, thanks to the line “Flashback when you met me / Your buzzcut and my hair bleached” from her song “Dress.” Swift hasn’t attended the Met Gala since 2016, but some Swifties believe that the singer will attend the 2022 Met Gala because her pals Lively and Reynoldsare co-chairing this year’s party. Swift is close with the couple and they hang out often—and they also have worked together. Lively directed Swift’s music video for “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault),” and Reynolds made a cameo in her music video for “You Need to Calm Down.” Their daughters’ names are featured in Swift’s song “Betty” from folklore, and you can hear their daughter James’ voice in the intro to Swift’s song “Gorgeous.” What’s more, there’s some speculation that Swift and Alwyn may actually walk the red carpet together for the first time, in part to promote his Hulu series Conversations With Friends, though that seems unlikely seeing as how they’ve kept their romance as private as possible. Some Swifties are also speculating that the “Lover” crooner will either drop a new song or announce a new project to coincide with her appearance at the 2022 Met Gala—and many are hoping for a purple gown to coincide with a possible announcement related to Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).

The Met Gala 2022 theme is “Gilded Glamour and White Tie.” This is specifically to tie in with the new Costume Institute exhibition of “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
What is Gilded Glamour?
“Gilded Glamour” refers in part to the Gilded Age of the late 19th century, and it will be interesting to see how the elite institution approaches not just the style, but also the substance of the era, which was famous for its wealth disparity between the upper crust and working class. (This may be the best place for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to rock a “Tax the Rich” gown. She was ahead of her time!) Next, look back at the wildest looks ever from the Met Gala!
