Joe Alwyn Tipped for 2026 Met Gala Return
Mr Joe Alwyn is being linked to a potential return to the Met Gala in New York, sparking renewed speculation over whether Taylor Swift might attend the high-profile fashion event this year. The actor, who previously dated the singer, has not been seen at the gala since 2016, the year the pair were widely reported to have first met.
SheKnows reported that gossip account DeuxMoi claimed Mr Alwyn was among celebrities spotted arriving in New York City ahead of the Met Gala, alongside claims that Doja Cat and Ms Kendall Jenner were also in the city.
The report said Mr Alwyn attended the 2016 Met Gala but skipped the red carpet, and noted that neither he nor Ms Swift has returned to the event since then. It also revisited the former couple’s relationship timeline, stating they dated from September 2016 to March 2023 and kept their relationship largely private.
Speculation over Ms Swift’s own Met Gala plans has persisted for years, and interest in her movements has intensified amid broader fan chatter about possible celebrity reunions and carefully managed public appearances.
Organisers of the Met Gala typically keep the final guest list closely held until the night itself, meaning any attendance by Mr Alwyn or Ms Swift is unlikely to be confirmed publicly until they arrive at the event.
