00:00 While many celebrities stunned at the Met Gala this year, there were a few familiar faces not in attendance.
00:07 Arguably one of the most glaring absences from the Met Gala this year was none other than Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
00:14 After weeks of confusion over whether or not the star-crossed lovers would be attending, when it came to the night of the event,
00:21 neither were able to make it.
00:23 Swift supposedly wanted to focus her time on returning to her heirs tour,
00:27 and we doubt Kelce wanted to attend without his boo.
00:30 22-year-old Billie Eilish is another star that opted out of the Met Gala this year. Eilish has stunned at the event in the past,
00:36 so fans were disappointed she didn't pull up to flaunt her very own sleeping beauty look.
00:41 The main theory surrounding Eilish's absence is her upcoming album, which drops in 10 days on May 17th.
00:48 The star is likely prepping for listening parties and her tour,
00:51 leaving little time for anything other than her music. And last but not least, we have Rihanna.
00:56 A star that fans were very vocal about missing at the gala online.
01:00 While Rihanna did actually have plans to attend the gala, and a look already planned,
01:05 Entertainment Tonight and People magazine reported the star was hit with a last-minute case of the flu, which unfortunately kept her from attending.
