Taylor Swift Skipped the Met Gala for Tour Rehearsals and Her Go-To Sneaker Brand Is Secretly on Sale at Amazon

Although the Met Gala’s “The Garden of Time” theme sounds like a song straight off of The Tortured Poets Department or folklore, Taylor Swift skipped out on the festivities this year.

Instead, the songwriter is reportedly focusing on rehearsals for the European leg of the Eras Tour, which kicks off in Paris later this week. The recent launch of her 31-track anthology album has also kept Swift busy.

She recently shared two YouTube Shorts in promotion of the album, each a montage set to her new single “Fortnight.”

The videos show Swift snuggling with her cat, strumming a guitar, and even sharing a kiss with boyfriend Travis Kelce.

We also spotted the singer wearing the limited edition New Balance x Ganni 1906 Sneakers while she hit the gym and strutted on stage during rehearsals.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Swift sport New Balance sneakers. This week, shoppers can snag casual kicks, walking shoes, and running sneakers from the brand for under $100.
