The gala is a yearly fundraiser for the Met’s Costume Institute and calls on designers to adorn stars, models, and sometimes influencers in the fashions of a selected theme to match a wing of the museum’s exhibit.
This year’s exhibit is a continuation of last year’s theme of American fashion and will include “cinematic vignettes” created by top Hollywood directors congruent with the “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” theme.
Taylor Swift didn’t make her highly anticipated return to the 2022 Met Gala. And honestly, what a comeback it would have been for the singer, who has not made an appearance at the event since 2016 when she was dressed by Louis Vuitton.
Musician Taylor Swift was earning renown as a country music singer by the age of 16. Early hits like “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me” appealed to country and pop fans alike and helped fuel the multi-platinum success of her albums, including the Grammy-winning Fearless (2008).
