The fundraiser—which is themed around the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s new “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit, with an official “Garden of Time” dress code—will take place on May 6, just three days before Taylor is scheduled to hit the stage at the Paris La Défense Arena in France.
Travis Kelce’s Absence
As for her boyfriend Travis Kelce? It’s likely he’ll be sitting out as well, with TMZ reporting that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has RSVP’d “no” on his invitation to the 2024 bash, co-chaired by Zendaya, Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez and Chris Hemsworth.
