There have been conflicting reports about Swift and Kelce attending this year's Met Gala for what would be their first official red-carpet event as a couple. People reported on April 29 that the 14-time Grammy winner, who released "The Tortured Poets Department" album on April 19, would not attend so she can focus on preparing for her Eras Tour that resumes May 9 in Paris.

The invite-only guest list for the lavish event that draws high-profile celebrities and world-renowned designers is a well-kept secret. So, until arrivals begin, there's no way of knowing for sure if Swift will be on the famed Met staircase spinning like a girl in a brand new dress.
She has attended on six different occasions, most recently in 2016, showing off her evolving style. Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs who also has a passion for fashion, has yet to attend the event.
Let's look back at Swift's fashion choices each year she graced the Met Gala in her best dress, fearless.

2008
An 18-year-old Swift made her Met Gala debut in 2008 wearing a gold ombré gown from Badgley Mischka. With a "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" theme, Vogue wrote that Swift's sequined dress "was reminiscent of a mysterious, gilded mermaid." The gown had the same golden tone as the cover of her second album -- "Fearless" -- that would be released six months later.
2010
Swift opted for a simplistic and sophisticated look at the 2010 Met Gala, which featured an "American Woman: Fashioning A National Identity" theme. Her white, shoulder-baring gown made by Ralph Lauren featured sequin-embroidered ruffles.
2011
Swift was a Met Gala veteran when she arrived in 2011 dressed for the "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" theme. She wore a one-shoulder J. Mendel gown featuring layered lace and mesh with a mermaid train.
2013
Swift unveiled a darker look at the 2013 Met Gala with a J. Mendel gown for the "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" theme. Her smokey eye makeup perfectly complemented her floor-length black gown and jeweled collar.
2014
Formal attire was expected at the 2014 Met Gala with its "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" theme, and Swift delivered with an Old Hollywood look. She wore a soft-pink Oscar de la Renta gown that was embroidered with flowers.
2016
No red lips and rosy cheeks this time.
Swift's last Met Gala appearance, when she served as the event's co-chair, was her most daring. Swift, sporting bleached blonde hair and plum lipstick, wore a metallic-scaled dress designed by Louis Vuitton for the "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology" theme.
Until she returns to the Met Gala, as Swift might say, "Say you'll remember me, standing in a nice dress..."
