With her schedule likely already filled to the brim with the back-to-back concerts, tour rehearsals, and travel time, it's pretty understandable that Swift would choose to miss out on this year's Met Gala. Swift performs onstage during The Eras Tour.
Her absence is understandable, as she just played three shows in Atlanta, Georgia for her Eras tour, including one last night. E! confirmed her absence and reported that Swift is spending the evening preparing for her Nashville shows this upcoming weekend.
