The 2024 Met Gala is a wrap, but let’s be real, it was missing some major players this time around. Like, where was Blake Lively, the ultimate Met Gala royalty? She and Ryan Reynolds ghosted the event for the second year straight, and fans are totally bummed about it.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds ended up skipping their second Met Gala in a row. Instead of hitting the town for the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” themed bash, Blake and Ryan opted for a cozy night in with their four kiddos. Family time over fancy parties—it’s hard to argue with that!
Lively sparked hope she could attend the Met Gala when she went to a Tiffany & Co. event in New York last week. Ultimately, she let that be her big fashion moment for early May.
Blake Lively has quite the Met Gala history, even poking fun at herself for perfectly coordinating with the carpet in previous years. Her last Met Gala appearance was in 2022, where she not only attended, but also co-chaired the event. Embracing the “Gilded Glamour” theme, she stunned in an Atelier Versace gown paired with her signature Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and a tiara.
What sets Lively apart is that she styles herself, even for major events like the Met Gala. She explained that she enjoys the creativity and control it offers.
Fans were eagerly anticipating Blake Lively’s return to the 2024 Met Gala, hoping for her signature style and charisma to grace the event once again. However, when she didn’t make an appearance, disappointment swept through social media. “Blake Lively, where are you?” one fan questioned, echoing the sentiments of many who were eagerly awaiting her presence.
Another fan expressed their disappointment, saying, “pretending to not care Blake Lively isn’t there to save the night #MetGala.” It’s clear that Lively’s absence left a noticeable void for many attendees and followers of the event, underscoring her significant impact and presence at the Met Gala over the years.

Elon Musk’s Savage Four-Word Reply to Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift Booed at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans
Taylor Swift had an unexpected moment at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, where the reception was far from welcoming.
Not only did her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs leave the game without a victory, but Swift herself faced loud boos when she appeared on the big screen.
Swift’s Reaction to the Crowd
Despite being one of the most beloved music icons with a massive global fanbase, Swift wasn’t spared from a less-than-friendly reception at the Super Bowl.
Attending the game at Caesars Superdome to support Kelce, Swift was simply enjoying the matchup when cameras caught her on screen. However, rather than cheers, the crowd erupted in boos.
Seemingly caught off guard, Swift turned to her friend, rapper Ice Spice, and was seen mouthing, “What is going on?” Her reaction suggested genuine surprise at the unexpected negativity.
A possible explanation? Swift, originally from Pennsylvania, has publicly supported the Philadelphia Eagles in the past. She was even spotted wearing an Eagles sweatshirt in New York City years ago. But since dating Kelce, she has aligned herself with the Chiefs—a shift some Eagles fans in the stadium may not have appreciated.
Donald Trump Chimes In
The moment didn’t escape the attention of former President Donald Trump, who took to Truth Social to comment.
“The only one who had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Trump himself received a notably warm welcome from the crowd, with many fans showing excitement at his presence.
The Twitter account End Wokeness also highlighted the contrast, tweeting: “Taylor Swift got mercilessly booed. Trump got a hero’s welcome. Total culture shift.”
Elon Musk’s Take
Elon Musk, a frequent critic of Swift and a vocal Trump supporter, weighed in with a short but sharp comment: “Vibe shift is real.”
This isn’t the first time Musk has taken jabs at Swift. After she publicly endorsed Kamala Harris, Musk previously joked, “Fine Taylor… you win… I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” referencing Swift’s lighthearted “childless cat lady” remark.
While Swift may have faced boos at the Super Bowl, her dedicated fanbase remains unwavering. As for the crowd’s reaction, it seems sports loyalty and politics continue to be major talking points, even in the entertainment world.
