00:00 I was saying all day that I felt like Cinderella getting to go to the ball.
00:06 I'm 18 years old.
00:07 Like, I did not expect my senior year to be like this.
00:10 Taylor Swift, a Met Gala vet, won't be at this year's event.
00:14 NET is learning why the singer seemingly turned down the coveted invite.
00:19 Is this your first grand ball?
00:20 This is my first time at the Met.
00:22 I am so excited and I just, I can't even believe that I got invited by these two amazing designers.
00:28 And it just, it's unbelievable to me.
00:30 I'm so excited.
00:31 That's Tay at her very first gala in 2008.
00:35 She's attended five more times since.
00:37 Taylor Swift!
00:38 Taylor!
00:39 Taylor!
00:40 I'm just so excited to be invited, you know?
00:44 It's a wonderful thing to be included in.
00:45 Everybody looks gorgeous.
00:47 Last walking the iconic steps in 2016 when she co-chaired the event.
00:52 This year, the Met falls on May 6th, also known as the first Monday of May.
00:58 And due to that timing, our sources say Taylor can't make it because she has to continue
01:02 preparing for her Eros tour.
01:04 The sold out shows pick up on May 9th in Paris, kicking off the European leg of her tour.
01:10 And for a heart right there, we were forever.
01:15 50 detectives hard at work decoding that sneak peek Taylor dropped last week, showing behind
01:21 the scenes of her rehearsals, all set to her latest single, "Fortnite."
01:26 And that has fans thinking she'll be adding songs from her 11th studio album, the Portrait
01:31 Poets Department, to the Eros set list.
01:39 It's been a little over a week since the album dropped, and it's already smashing records
01:44 and dominating the charts.
01:45 Billboard revealing Tay made history on last week's Hot 100 with 14 of her new songs becoming
01:52 the top 14 songs of the week, "Fortnite" at number one.
01:56 I love it.
01:57 Taylor giving credit where credit is due, sharing the list on her IG stories and telling
02:02 her fans, "You've outdone yourselves.
02:05 This is unbelievable."
02:07 So that's all the fans doing.
02:08 As for her number one fan, boyfriend Travis Kelce, a source tells ET the NFL star couldn't
02:15 be more supportive and is pumped for Taylor.
02:18 I mean, she's so amazing at what she does.
02:21 And to find that creativity, to see where she likes to pull things from and just really
02:26 how she listens to music is very eye-opening to me.
02:29 So it's been fun getting to hear her taste on it.
02:33 Yeah, and expect Trav to be cheering her on overseas.
02:36 He recently told ET he plans to support his lady love across the pond.
02:40 The London shows.
02:41 I think she's at Wembley eight times, which is mind-blowing that she can do that many
02:47 shows in one stadium and fill that thing up.
02:50 And London's always an amazing city.
02:51 Paris is a beautiful city.
02:53 And she'll be all over Europe.
02:55 So there won't be a bad show, I promise you that.
02:57 You packing your bags to a couple, maybe?
02:59 Oh, you know I gotta go support.
03:00 Bye.
