Beyoncé once again skipped the Met Gala—and it's really no surprise. The pop icon failed to show up to fashion's biggest night today, held at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. And while she was missed, fans know it often takes a lot to get Beyoncé on a red carpet.

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.
Taylor Swift didn't steal the show at the Met Gala — much to the disappointment of Swifties — but she missed the red carpet event for a good reason.
