The Best Memes Reacting To The 2024 Met Gala – And Taylor Swift's Rumored Appearance

The Met Gala 2024 has officially taken the internet by storm on Monday, May 6 with a flood of memes, jokes, and TikToks that have emerged in the wake of fashion's most glamorous evening.

As celebrities parade the red carpet in their most extravagant outfits, the event not only supports the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute but also provides tons of material for online entertainment, especially on X (formerly Twitter.)

This year, the Gala's theme, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," and its dress code, "The Garden of Time," set the stage for an event filled with fashion, emphasizing themes of rebirth and renewal. The venue itself was transformed to fit this motif, featuring a lush greenish-blue carpet flanked by foliage, perfectly encapsulating the essence of a mystical garden, and also serving as a great jumping off point for jokes.

Adding to the excitement, the internet was buzzing with rumors of Taylor Swift's appearance. After months of speculation, Page Six reported that Swift could actually attend the gala, which has only heightened the anticipation for the star-studded event, as fans eagerly await to see what the pop sensation will wear. However, PEOPLE has reported otherwise, saying that she will be attending rehearsals in Paris ahead of her Eras Tour.

Yet, for all its elegance, the Met Gala is a prime occasion for some good-natured ribbing from those watching at home, perhaps in their coziest sweatpants. It's a night where high fashion meets high humor, with viewers quick to unleash their wittiest critiques and observations on social media.
