Ever since she broke out on the music scene in 2008, Lady Gaga has been one of the biggest names in avant-garde fashion. But the pop star will not be attending the 2018 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday night, and her fans are outraged.
Gaga’s only mention of the event on Monday came in a tweet where she posted the music video to her 2011 song Judas.

However her followers on Twitter didn’t think that post was enough to make up for her missing the show.
Honestly let’s be grateful Gaga even tweeted about the Met gala rather than having us anxiously watching the red carpet for her to never show up lmao

Gaga hasn’t made it to the event since 2016, having to miss last year’s Gala due to the filming schedule for the remake of A Star is Born.
She did however crown Rihanna with the title of best-dressed that year tweeting, “Best dressed in my humble opinion was (Rihanna) ๐ฅ#MetGala captured the spirit of the night & emotion of #Kawakubo.”
