What Is The MET Gala Curse? – News Air Insight

The MET Gala curse applies to couples who walk the carpet together and smile for the cameras. Many couples who previously attended the event together have ended up heartbroken. Fans say that it is bad luck for the stars to meet up with their partners at the event or during the after-party. A list of ex-couples who fell victim to the MET Gala curse include FKA Twigs and Robert Pattinson, who attended the event together in 2015, Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston, who attended it in 2016, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik, who attended the event in 2016 and Selena Gomez and The Weekend, who attended the red carpet ceremony in 2017.

Wait, there’s more! Kirsten Dunst and Jake Gyllenhaal attended the event together in 2003 and broke up soon after. Christina Ricci and Chris Evans had the same fate, after they attended the gala together in 2007. Ex-couples as strong as Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott, Hailey Bieber and Shawn Mendes, Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse, Grimes and Elon Musk, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, Phoebe Bridgers and Paul Mescal and Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have also broken up after attending the fashion event. Interestingly, everyone’s favourite ex-couple, Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter went to the Gala last year and recently called it quits.

However, Priyanka Chopra Jonas met Nick Jonas at her debut MET Gala, and they are going as strong as ever. Discussing about the seeming curse might be a way for social media users to keep the conversations going, but the assumptions should also be taken with a pinch of salt.
